There was a Solo on a Sunday working of the 41 the when I saw it a few weeks ago. I don't know what the usual allocation of the 41 is though

Forgot to report this yesterday but a Blue Centro was on the 30, most likely 30704 but only saw from a distance.

In response to John's comment about the 41. It's usually B7RLE's or full length Plaxton's on a sunday. It's a Royale Centro most evenings

As the 41 comes off the 401e it's more likely to be an Optare Solo Monday to Friday

Does anyone know why the 41 is being withdrawn by diamond from the 26th Jan-presumably they have lost the centro contract but I thought centro contracts began in april/october?

From 26th Jan the 19:55 journey operated by Diamond at Present will be run by NXWM. Arriva will operate the rest of the evening journies and Sundays rerouting it to serve Allens Rough Estate in New Invention like Mon-Sat daytimes

Hope that answers your question? :)

Nope. At first i thought the sunday service was passing over to NX but it appears Arriva have got the tender
