Wessex red buses at Tividale

[PM]

I was in Stourport and Kidderminster today the 3 and X3 service was not busy at all both Whittles and diamond buses were nearly empty. These transfers have just released some of the older darts and solo's to be used at Tividale may be due to the emission ruling with regards to W905JNF moving.

Sorry Ash don't quite understand what you mean here-sorry I just want to understand as you often have something useful to say, especially about diamond

White B7rle on 16. I thought it was that NXWM plain white one but the N/S mirror arm was too small.

Got a picture of this this morning. Blue diamond buses I saw were BK13NZP, KX07OOW, B20WTS, a solo, MV54EEV on the 16

KX57OVS, KX57OVV, 30000, AE10CSF and something else I think on the 50

B20WTS and Bk13NZP do look smart. Are there any others about does anyone know? Apparently BK13NZM was seen in the WMs...

NZM was on the 16 as well all day, surprised you didn't notice it. B20WTS doesn't look smart there is accident damage along the side, patched paintwork & general

Really???? How on earth did I miss it-really wanted a picture of that one as well!!!!!!!  >:( Hope its there tomorrow   I thought B20WTS did look smart I didnt see any accident damage though looking closer at my picture of NZP there is a small bit but to be honest I just ignored it as I thought it was just a blur on my awful rushed photo Do we know how long these buses are here for though?

Peter I meant with these recent arrivals from down south it has allowed 20836 and 30905 to transferred or loaned to Tividale with 30905 not being able to be used on the 16 or 50 due to the emission ruling in the City Centre hence why 30929 enviro 200 has gone to Long Acre to be used on the 16.

See what you mean now  :)

If you look at the fleetlist at Long Acre compared to Tividale there would be a significant different in the age of both of the fleets.

I thought AE10CSF was being sold and exported to Transzit New Zealand?

To be honest that's not uncommon. Mornings, school rush and 4-6pm can be busier with full buses but daytime not usually heavy loadings...

Most of the time it certainly doesn't warrant two operators. For me, Diamond have the better service but Whittles are half the price.
I think extended evening buses withdrawn in 2011 might encourage more to travel as well as better promotion.

30002 was out yesterday on the 50 as well. Anyone know if 30901/4 withdrawn at wessex are due to come back to the west midlands and if 30903 will also reenter service like 30902? Also, any more news about when the enviros will enter service and if and when there are more eclipses due at tividale or the centro withdrawn at wessex is due for the west midlands? Cheers  :)
