The white b7rle from Wessex even though likely to be temporary would see far better use at Tividale and use them with the rest of the 13 reg batch on the 4/4H/4M with one covering for the centro missing on the 002. It could then allow a few of Tividale's buses to be repainted into the new diamond livery of which none of the existing fleet have been repainted into from either the black diamond or red and white diamond livery.

B7RLE on the 202 today (think an older one but not too sure as it was a long way away. Saw it while on 4503 on the WB241)

The 2 ex midland classic b7rle's were on the 4 today it may have been the 08 reg one on the 202 as I haven't seen that bus in weeks. A an ex swift dart was on the 4 today but looked to be one of the mpd darts not Y211/2HWJ.
A royale centro was on the 40 today it might have been 30823 or 30825 couldn't tell as it was from a distance.

I caught white B7 BK13NZM on the 82 from Coventry to Solihull at 15:10 this afternoon. Its seats are the same as NX 2153 which is still is nowhere to be seen on the streets of Coventry.

Isn't 2153 at Walsall paintshop being painted into NXC sky blue livery?

I caught S397HVV on the 4 today and the body of the bus made some strange noises like it was going to fall apart and struggled to get into a high gear on the 40mph stretches. Plenty of cadets were on the 4 thought as I guess 2 b7rle were on the 002. Diamond definitely need more investment at Tividale around 10 buses would make a huge difference, The cadet I was on today 30216 quite a few people brought returns and the special offer £5 family ticket which is good value and another cadet I saw 30218 later in the day heading to Walsall at around 4pm at the Fullbrook was rammed and was a 4M working so was probably full with every seat taken leaving West Bromwich so they must be making a fair bit of money.
