Diamond West Midlands - Redditch

[jc]

Plain white 30384, V384SVV running round on local 57A.

YJ07JRV also out on 57, assuming these are both paint floats for the B7RLEs which seem very few and far between.

Why sell 30013 Y3NBB to Select, then take 30384 V384SVV. If 30013 was surplus to requirements, surely that would have fitted well in the KR fleet with the JNF's.

@jc I don't suppose you got a photo of YJ07JRV did you?

Working on it, Seems to be on a weird shorts duty, keeps running dead about half way round the 57 ... Maybe its already knackered ;-)

Have any repainted B7RLE's re-appeared at Redditch yet, haven't seen any reports on here and your sighting is the first of the VDL's, looking at the fleet changes there are 4 now at RH

[jc]

Appears to.be a second VDL on the 60 or 61.

30850 currently sat in Church Road depot with a fresh coat of blue paint, appears to be the first one to return.

I think Simon said 3 x B7RLE were being done at a time?

It will be good to finally get all of the RH fleet in Diamond allover blue. Pity the allover red couldn't have been retained for the Worcestershire operations though.....

30850 has been pressed into service on MPD route 64 ... With the amount of buses dropping out of service there are massive gaps appearing on track with several mpds floating about on it

That doesn't sound very good, have things not improved?

[jc]

JJU is the one on the 61,

My first proper bash for months and i would have to say no, things are better but still below the expected standard sadly.

@jc more chance of getting there on time.....  ;)

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?
