Relying on both Diamond and Cross Country was never my best choice ;-)

30851 and 30860 appear to be the other two away for paint

30859 - 247

T469HNH was on 58s too looking slighty unloved

Hmmmm....

30850 on the 64 & an MPD on the 58. Is KR's allocator working in RH at present?

Presumably as the 64 starts after most 57/8 duties would come out so perhaps 30850 was not then ready for service.

Do the repainted VDL/centro's and 30850 look smart? Are all logos etc applied or have they been rushed into service?

They do look smart and all have logos (VDL/Centro body has different glazing to the Man/Centros so do stand out compared to them)

30850 was taken out of service after one trip.

Brilliant-yes the VDLs have gasket as opposed to bonded glazing.

Great photos-thanks for posting jc! :)

The repaints certainly all look really smart, especially 30850 as these red diamond eclipses were starting to look a little tired.

The VDL centro's look nice in blue as well...

Thanks for posting the link :)

Was there much else at LAC? I take it the alx200 dart is 30903?

Do we think the ticket machine code is right ie Tividale or just a replacement with new sticker yet to be applied?

Previously unmentioned 30851 has returned to service at Redditch in Blue Livery, Im assuming that when one returns another departs with now at least 4 vehicles being done.

30851 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/55059449@N06/14410538899/

30860 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/55059449@N06/14404285791/

30852 is yet to re-enter service at Redditch depot.

Just noted 30850 parked up at Kings Norton Station (towards Birmingham) at around the time it should have been going the other way towards Redditch on the 146 so looks like it could have broken down.
