Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[winston]

Was 20913 part of the transfer? Spotted it on the 202 this morning.

No, its been a Kidderminster since mid Jan.

None Euro 6 Solo 20912 out on the 142A

[Trident 4194]

Not a good day at KR. 30051 broke down on the 142A and got replaced by 20052. 20052 was then seen broken down in Stourbridge bus Station with 30051 replacing it. 

3222* broke down on 125. 30709 replaced it for half a trip before 30410 took over for the remaining of the day. Those B7RLES really can shift now - much better than when they were at tividale crawling up hills. Guessing it's due to the new engines which I think they had?

I very much doubt those Volvo's have had new engines

I suspect they would be withdrawn if they needed a new engine

Im sure 30411 had something done to it?

Either way it's good to see not being withdrawn. And put to good use in Kidderminster.

As Tony said, they won't have had any big jobs done them, otherwise they'd have been withdrawn fully. 

The only thing that let's those buses down, is the external paintwork, it's really faded & tired.
Would make a world of difference in Tone 2 blue if they are staying for a while.

I've read a post on Facebook earlier that recently transferred from Tividale 30412 (YJ07 PAO) has been withdrawn I have no idea what's happened to it just what I read

Non Euro 6 E200 30964 on the 142A

[2206]

Noticed today the Diamond 125 timetable shown on bus times is wrong. The final 16:45 service for Stourbridge is shown on bus times as only running to Broadwaters.
Also the bus times Saturday timetable completely missing the Plough and Harrow stop on it.
