Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[Trident 4194]

Former 002 branded 30806 (WX58 FRV) has made an appearance in Kidderminster today the blue paintwork was gleaming on the 3's and X3 but the hanover displayed "Welcome Aboard" and a piece of paper was in the window displaying "X3" so I assuming it still has Tividale routes programmed into it I also assume that this is one of the new additions to Kidderminster...

No!!!! I really like 806 on the 002

Also had a journey on 20849 (KU52 RYH) tonight with my mate on the 3's and it's utterly terrible it's slow, sluggish and struggles to pull away from junctions etc and for what it's worth it's pretty much fit for the scrapyard!

Still displaying the X3 paper but nothing in the "blind" today and having problems re-starting in Bromsgrove bus station around 11.15.  Bus full of unhappy looking passengers.  :o

the remaining centros at Tividale are all Volvo it would seem Kiddy is going to have the MAN engined buses

[Reece]

With an ever increasing number of Plaxton Centro's on there way to Kidderminster depot or already here I thought I would start this topic to keep a track of there comings and goings. :)

Looks like it is. Stourbridge Shuttle was a bit before me, back then only buses I paid attention to were my school buses and the 9/99

Go on main site 20539 had it,you will recognise it I think
