A royale black diamond centro on the 4 today and one on the 301 (30823) not  seen that often these days on these services mon-sat. Also good to see the solo's not being used on the 4 was on a 4 today 30211 and by the time it got to Walsall was standing room only and the bus was rammed but there were 3 NXWM 4's behind it.

Has it been re branded and repaired back into nifty fifty livery or been repainted into blue diamond livery.

At least 2 solo's on the 4 today including an 03 and 57 reg solo, I think the 57 reg one may be have been put on the service later in the day to replace 30205 which broke down.

It was still in nifty Fifty livery, I only managed a shot from the back as it took me by surprise (and pulled off by the time Id got across!). I did see the front though and it was nifty fifty branded so looks like its a keeper.

I saw a blue coloured Diamond Optare Solo operating a 17 to Tile Cross at lunchtime. Is this unusual?

Whenever I've seen a 17 while I'm in Birmingham, it's nearly always a Blue Solo.
