Diamond Bus - Discussion

[PM]

Thought this seemed surprising as no acquisitions have been reported and less small buses are actually needed at Tividale, not more. Plus I doubt Kinchbus would be selling 02 reg solos and I doubt diamond would be acquiring 02 reg solos-most acquired recently have been far newer

It was definitely a Black Solo, With KYM at the end, I should have made a note whilst I was behind it not when it took off, I have now learn't to write things down rather than store them in my mind  :)

If it is a black Solo won't be a new acquisition, they would be blue. It will be 20541 KX03 EXM

No worries, was the last one into Halesowen from the castle

what time matt

30808 was on the 002 today

was it a blue diamond b7rle

It would have arrived in a 18h50 if it was the last into Halesowen.

As 30808 is a b7rle/centro in DIAMOND blue livery then yes it probably was a b7rle :P

thankyou dimoand dart for that conformation

Are the new and recently acquired B7's no longer allocated to the 4 services by default? Been out and about on it today and only seen 1! The rest are a mix of various Darts, seemed fairly busy though, with some purposely stopping the Diamond buses to use there returns

The ex Transdev B7's are mainly allocated to 301's now with some on the 56 or 002

I don't think there has been any day yet where all the new b7rles have been on the 4/4H as many have been on loan elsewhere. I think as Nathan says some are on the 301s with some on the 56 covering royales away for repaint or covering 30808 on the 002 which now it is back, should mean the 002 reverts mostly to its centros.
