Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

30006 - BX07 AYU - on 70S in Redditch this morning. As 30005 above, this vehicle is still with full Wessex branding.

Are both 30005 & 30006 currently working out of Redditch?

30005 and 30006 are both intended for Kidderminster long term from what I have been told. 30005 is definitely still at the Kidderminster depot as it is being prepared to return to service and it was still in the depot this afternoon.

30006 was on the S77 in Redditch this morning. I believe some work in Redditch is undertaken by Kidderminster and I wonder if the S77 is part of this work.

Ex Wessex Bus 30950 - AE59EHO Plaxton Centro, Volvo B7RLE has transferred to Kidderminster for School work.

Ex Wessex Bus 30950 - AE59EHO Plaxton Centro, Volvo B7RLE has transferred to Kidderminster for School work.

How come 30950 is for schools work? It will be one of KR's newest 12M single decker, does it have seat belts fitted?

I wonder how long it will take for these latest Wessex arrivals to be repainted in to Diamond livery? Streetlites 20980 , 30528 & 30529 are still in Wessex base livery @ Redditch since transferring Dec 2016

I think the long term aim is to transfer the last of the remaining MAN engined Plaxton Centro's here. I have been told Kiddy is expecting a number of Ex Wessex Volvo's 3 are already here theses are 30001, 30005 and 30950 others bar 30006 which is at Redditch are apprently away for respray into Diamond livery. Exciting times

It's good to see KR getting more Volvo's, I'd personally like to see the MAN's disposed of rather than transferred elsewhere
