Diamond West Midlands - Redditch

[DMCL]

I saw two Tividale Volvo B7RLE/ Plaxton Centro vehicles operating in Redditch today - 30502 (BX58 APF) and 30881 (BK10 MFY).
30881 stood out, looking very smart and clean when compared with the usual dirty Redditch vehicles.

Not one that's been allocated to Redditch for long then, that was previously at Tividale for the 002 though has been devoid of branding for a while. Maybe it has been given a good clean to impress the Redditch locals  ;)

Redditch have been having various B7RLE loans from Kidderminster & Tividale, not sure if they are loans or permanent transfers.

There should currently be excess B7RLE's at Tividale with the 002 & 50 now having new Streetlites instead.

Are the two mercs officially never entering service ever again?

If you mean the Citaro's, unlikely, as they're not very well liked at Diamond.

I saw Citaro 30030 (BF60 OFA) in service in Redditch about a week ago.

30030 is usually on the 57/58. 30019 is withdrawn.

I would have thought, make 2 good ones out the 3 and send them to Preston with the others in the fleet?

That's exactly what's been suggested, as Preston seem to get on much better with them.

30030 - I saw this Citaro on the 57 this morning.

Looks like 30030 might have been stolen and crashed in Redditch today

I believe it's a recent transfer.
