20159 - is VOR due to a third party fault accident.  it is at Lawton Motor bodies at present and due back around 19th.
32240 - is  undergoing a partial engine rebuild.

What will be used on the new routes you have gained the 63, 64 and 65 and the 303 if you are allowed to say

I would imagine we will use either a Mellor or a Illesbus on 303.
I understand the 65 goes through a bridge, and this will need to be either a Solo or a Small Enviro.
63/64 there is no specific allocation.

Fair enough Thank you for the answer

When are the new routes taken over from Lets Go (eg 303) going to start tracking on the Diamond website?

Also new service 303 (County Bridge - Bilston) does not appear anywhere.

This should be working later.

While the 303 is now tracking, the new 63/64/65 are not and there is no route or timetable info on the website for the latter services.

I believe these are now working.

The 63 and 64 maps are both wrong:

The stops in Victoria Street (Mander Centre) and Skinner Street no longer exist.

The services run down Lichfield Street NOT Stafford Street and Ring Road St Peters (except when Queen Square is closed).
They exit the bus station via Pipers Row, not the Ring Road.

Service 63 outbound runs down Darlington Street and along Ring Road St Marks. Inbound it no longer serves Peel Street but runs direct up Salop Street from the Ring Road.

There are new stops in Darlington Street (o/s post office just past Beatties) and School Street (Skinner Street).

Tonight. 30926. Time 2010..  Are buses allowed to have a wheelchair & an electric electric scooter on the bus at the same time?

This very much depends upon the actual vehicle and what it is authorised to carry.   I have reviewed the CCTV, and the driver shouldn't the two.  This CCTV and the incident has been forwarded to the Operations Manager, as this needs to be followed up.

Thank you

Julia has been spotted in public service in Kidderminster apparently, and I see it back on the fleet list on bustimes... which routes (if) will Julia be on?
