Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[Dylanbusboy45]

Most of the newly won Diamond TfWM tenders specify Euro 5 buses, therefore, these will have to be operated by the newly acquired 59/10 & 60 plate Optare Solo's or the 2 x WF Streetlites Tividale now have

Don't remember seeing Tividale have got 2 Streetlites
Do you know what the other one is @Winston ?

They are recent additions for the increase in TfWM tenders from 23.4.17. They will appear in the April fleetchanges

The other is 20979, both were briefly at Redditch earlier this year before returning back to Wessex.

Yes definitely the biggest bus to ever go on the route it managed ok as it's the holidays

[the trainbasher]

Ludlows used to put full length buses on it when it was part of the 007

[Mercedes1665]

Ever since ludlows stopped it it's always been Small darts or in diamonds case now optares. Ludlows used Wright crusader darts a bit smaller than a daf cadet and slightly narrower.
