Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[D10]

Plus I suspect most if not all the ex Preston Hybrid Versa's on loan at KR have also returned to Tividale.

Not all gone yet, 30122 at least was in service in Kiddie today on the 3.

Solo 20833 - SF54ORL is on loan to Kidderminster I presume to cover for the short fall now 30126 has returned to Tividale and the last exPreston Hybrid Versa here is 30122 which I last saw on the 3s on Thursday evening. All of the exPreston Hybrid Versa's should be going off lease within the next few days that's what have been told.

at least on of the ex preston  hybirds  is still at Kidderminster  could not id it as I was inside when it went passed my place this afternoon on the 10.

I have also noticed there seams to be a few ex first drivers who left diamond for whittles and other firms are now back at diamond . so I wonder if there is still a shortage .
and  Wednesday I saw 30922 first time for  a  long time and it  has got the B20WTS reg again

30122 is still in service, on the 192 this morning.

30122 is still in service, on the 192 this morning.

That appears to be the only Preston Bus liveried one in service within Rotala because I've just looked on the DVLA and all of the other ones are now SORNED which means they have been pulled from service

Fans of the rare Wright Meridian will be pleased to know that Kidderminster last remaining one 30534 - M333SLT is now back in service and was on 3 yesterday after having a new engine.

Caught the first 267 this morning from Kingswinford and it was driven by a very (villa fan) polite driver, i had to tell him the engine flap had come up which I noticed at Ashwood Park

It was a very nice clean diamond bus (an nx fan complementing a diamond bus!) 54 part dart

Will Kidderminster be getting any of the other 3 back any time soon or will it be 30534 heading the other way to Atherton ?

Doubt it, they're needed up at Atherton since the 2 ex Wigan Coachways Scania Omnicities were sold & Atherton were using approx 3 x Preston Hybrid Versa's for a number of months prior to them moving South to Tividale HQ

Didn't think of that so thanks @Winston
