Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[StourportSam]

30704 on the 10 yesterday, sounding very poorly and driver complaining it had already broken down that day.

I second that tbf I got on it on Offmore at about 3:15 and it sounded terrible then I have been told that even when Long Acre had it they also had a number of problems with it along with it's sisters

well at least  you got a 10 to get on , not like me  went  to catch one on Thursday 2 did not come

This was on the 1500 ex Kidderminster Town Hall, which turned up at 1520... incidentally, the 303 was also over 10 minutes late.

I think almost all of the ten or so people waiting for the bus I caught were complaining of significant delays over the past few weeks.

saw a centro for the first time (don't  just mean in Kidderminster) .Tuesday  looks a nice type of bus

Had a ride on 30516 (W906 JNF) on the 192 the other day and I have to say she goes very well much better infact than her sister (30905) I also had a ride on 30512 (S377 TMB) and that also goes like a rocket considering its age hard to believe that 30512 will be 17 this September it's one of my new favourites of the Diamond Kidderminster fleet 😊 and I asked Simon what's happening with it and he has confirmed that it will be in Kidderminster for the forseeable future which I'm delighted about

I went on 30512 - still in old GoAhead red and white - on the X3 on Wednesday and thought just the same. In fact it was smoother and more comfortable than most Enviro 200s.

I haven't got time to sift through all the threads to find the answer to this, but is it Diamond's intention to move more MAN/Centros to Kidderminster in the near future?

Yes Matt! Three are due at KD imminently from Heathrow

So I've been told by a driver friend of mine some of the drivers aren't keen on it either! Let's hope the 3 from Heathrow are better

30801-30804 were the 50 branded ones @Matt

Ah, must've been 30804 then. Will be funny to see what the elderly folk on the 192 make of 30804 if it ends up on there!

@Matt 30804's at Long Acre, so it should be quite unlikely to appear on a 192
