Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[Cedric]

From what I have seen 30704 is not at Kidderminster, I could be wrong though.

Both 30802 and 30805 are running from Kidderminster garage at the moment, only 30805 is allocated there. Has taken me a week or two to realise as the registrations are so similar.

Sam not seen 30704 from quite a while myself

30512 - S377TMB Dennis Dart SLF sadly passed away yesterday after its engine finally gave up the ghost after almost 17 years of service it has finally been withdrawn. It will now probably be used as a source of spares. :-[ :-[ :'( :'( :'(

Optare Solo (small) 20010 - YJ56 AUA has been transferred to Kiddy as a unsuitable replacement for 30512 which is a SLF Dart!! >:(

Would 30439 from Tividale been any good if that was transferred

Anything that's a long dart is good for Kidderminster even 30454/30455

I would imagine that's a very short term transfer. Simon Dunn stated on here some time back they had removed the Optares from Kidderminster to standardise the fleet, back then to Darts. Once 30382 and 30704 are back in service a replacement might not be needed anyway.

Having emailed Simon Dunn I have found out that the 202 route will run out of Kidderminster from 23/10/2015. There will be no more routes other than the 202 transferring to Kiddy in the near future. And eventually all Plaxton Centro's with MAN engines will be transferred to Kiddy.

B15WTS could be over the pits tonight as it is making a loud knocking sound as it goes along.  :-\ :o
