Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[winston]

30516 is indeed back and in blue.
30512 appears to have been withdrawn.
30637 operating on the X3 today.

There's still the 2 V-reg ex Stagecoach ALX200's that seem to be taking a good while to prep for service

What's the significance of 30637 being on the X3, it's already KR bus

Winston,

It is because last week I said on here that my mate from Redditch had seen 30637 operating over there on the 55 route and when I spoke to him on Tuesday he told me that 30383 is now over at Redditch on loan currently plus you make a valid point about the ex-Stagecoach Darts I've not heard anything about them as Simon hasn't said anything and when I did a DVLA vehicle enquiry on them the other day they are both still currently listed as "Unlicensed" so perhaps the work is taking longer than Rotala anticipated

Oh right, ta for that

I thought it was suggested that it could have been RH allocated 30636 seen in error

30383 is in Kidderminster  today

[StourportSam]

As Cedric says 30383 was in Kidderminster today.

S378 TMB has vanished from where it was parked, as has 20660 or 20656, can't remember now what it was.

Are there many withdrawn buses parked up at KR these days?

Nope not now

To my knowledge there's these vehicles remaining (scrap);

Black Diamond - 30433 (T445 EBD)
Wessex Connect - 20254 (Y254 KNB)
Red Diamond - 20503 (T71 JBA)
Wessex Connect - 30901 (W901 JNF)

T71 JBA
W901 JNF
Y254 KNB
T445 EDB
And the two above unless they have definitely departed.

I beat you to it Sam :P

and S378 TMB/S405 TMB have indeed departed as I remember Simon Dunn telling me that they had been sold and he was awaiting payment so obviously Rotala have been paid and the vehicles have been released and departed

[iamwilljh92]

Sam!

30512 (S377 TMB) has NOT been withdrawn etc as I have just seen it go past my house on the 15:10pm number 10 so perhaps when you saw it in the VOR line up (or wherever it was you saw it) it doesn't necessarily mean anything!

Will   I just seen it go past  my place as well   

[Trident 4194]

Long dart on 142

[iamwilljh92]

Long dart on 142

That's strange as usually they use MPD's on that route a few examples include; 20032 (MV54 EEO); 20853/4 (LG02 FFD/E); or one of the VXXX HEC's

It replaced 20252

[StourportSam]

V463 TVV and V464 TVV are here.
Parked up at KR depot, in Diamond livery.
Interestingly, at least one has a dot-matrix destination blind, something I thought Diamond might have replaced. Perhaps it is just a coincidence or mistake, or indeed done on purpose but one of them is displaying service number 2A. When I go past later I will try to look at the destination.

A green Man Centro is also back, presumably for 002 workings.

S377 TMB was indeed back in use yesterday.

20654 has been VOR for a week or two now.
