Diamond Bus - Discussion

[vinh1000]

Optares I not like the door problem is contionous took like 15 seconds before it would budge open
Even last week was waiting for a s3 but it had broken down lol

Even other buses have issues like centros which sound poorly maintained and I seen on their dashboards like the check light on and even once engine temperature was in red

I have never been on a diamond centro which sounds poorly maintained, whatever that sounds like... And I think Optares are just unreliable generally as opposed to how diamond have maintained them, as other operators have had similar issues.

I must say 30825 has been sounding quite dodgy for a while, from the outside at least

Where is 30408 (PO58 KPY) allocated to?

Not sure but it has certainly been at Long Acre since coming back from paint-haven't seen it in service though

I've never even seen it myself. All I know is that it is an East Lance (Optare) looking at the fleet list. Does anyone have any photos of it.

I presume the recently acquired B7RLE's from Transdev are allocated to Tividale?

I have seen it and it looks great. Here is a photo of it operating in Kent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41244661@N02/8688162875/

I would like to see that in the flesh in Diamond Livery :) Would there ever be a possibility of this transferring over to Tividale?

Don't suppose you will have to wait long as many of the acquired b7rles are in service-maybe someone could complete the list.

30406 in service and has been for a while
30407 painted at Tividale but hasn't been seen out in service yet
30408 painted at Long Acre but hasn't been seen out in service yet
30409 in service
30410
30411 in service
30412
30413

Which services has 30406 operated? I have seen photos/reports of it on the 56 but not any other route. Has it done 002's yet? I really do have to get out and ride home diamond abuse this weekend ;)

Btw thanks for the info Peter :) Very much appreciated :)

I think YN08NXL's first outings were on the 002, DiamondDart & Matt have both reported it

30406 has done 002's-first reported by Matt or trainbasher I think so they can take the credit for it, then I rode it the day after. It has also done the X3/3 and 57/58 so for a bus in service less than a month, 3/4 Diamond garages isn't bad!

No worries Nathan :)

Thanks for that :) I must have missed the post  ;D I need to catch up with all the happenings at Tividale as I haven't
payed much attention recently. I've been focusing on the happenings of NXWM WN Garage ;)

Main happenings are the new eclipses into service, the repaint of the royale and a few vehicles VOR ie 30808 and 20602 etc

[Trident 4609]

So 30808 is VOR again then? Is it the same problem as last time or another fault? :) As I said thank you very much for answer in my questions :)

Ps. Sorry for the 1001 questions btw
