Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[Trident 4609]

Royale Centro 30827 (BX09 SNY) on the 81 today

[Trident 4609]

The 205 was fully MPDs tonight, with 20502 and 20906 on there

I'm sure 20906 was on the 282 earlier...so Diamond have rejigged the duties?

that would  have to be a change of bus,the 205's still come off the 142 and 202 bus workings.

So one bus on the 205 is an MPD and the other is a Centro?

In the past that has been the case, but as Tom says, there is nothing stopping Diamond moving around duties.

I stand corrected...having looked through my pics, 20906 was on the 142 as opposed to the 282 (Must have been on there on friday!)

Good old reliable ex Pete's dart helping out a broken down Optare I imagine!

Almost, BN09 FWS is currently VOR, both the diesel Versa were out on the morning and the other 30 was a hybrid so they were just route swapping!

Was that this morning, or afternoon?  I saw a dart heading NIS down Lode Lane this morning and 20027 & 30130 on the 30

I snapped it arriving from an inbound journey at around 11 o clock so it may have been swapped for 20027 either in the station just after, or at some point later on.

Yeah, I saw the dart at half 11

Looking at the timetable, it must have been the 11:09 arrival into the station so that makes sense. :)

Saw 30130 finishing service in Acocks Green on the 30 this evening. It's had one of the nearside windows replaced by the looks of it as the wrap has not been replaced.

Didn't sound very 'environmentally-friendly' as it pulled away!  :o (first one I've encountered up close)

Noticed this a while back-the wrap is starting to look a bit messy now so maybe should be removed and the smarter signature livery applied. What did it sound like, out of interest, Stu? Unhealthy or was the engine on it running ie not moving off on electric. If the latter, don't think these have ever done this.
