Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

Just found a link to someone's flickr page which shows the rear of one of the versions of the 002 branded bus backs.

And none probably have Brierley Hill spelt correctly...

Doesn't go there anyway?  Or have I missed something?

I think it was advertising connections for the 226? Not sure though

Yep. It advertises connections at Weoley, Halesowen and MH

Looks good. Route branding is always good I think to raise profile, hopefully Redditch will get some fresh branding and Kidderminster could do with some branding I think for the 3 at least and the 142!

Wouldn't be surprised to see the 4, 16, 142 and 226 get branded again

Kidderminster was at one stage going to brand (and re-trim) 20658 (V658 HEC* - now sold) for the number 1 (Rifle Range) but it never materialised so I don't think they will brand the 142 if I'm honest as like I say they never branded the 1 but yet it was common knowledge they were going to

I did wonder why 20658 was on the 1 for about a month solid after the route was launched last June.

Currently on a completely empty 002. I don't remember seeing much publicity about the 002 running later into the evening. Perhaps if they had they would be carrying more than fresh air.

The interior branding is great though, much better than the hideous mess on the outside. Corporate theme really shows throughout and the designs are quite attractive to look at.

Give it time! Earlier and later journeys have only been going since yesterday...  ::)

I would imagine that the 142 is mostly likely to be branded because its diamond value. So Far new Diamond branding has only been for diamond value so statically its the most likeliest

3 002s were parked up in merry hill at 16:00

Hopefully we'll see less of the unbranded Volvos now

30825 and a b7 have been going round together practically all day, 30825 has gathered a nice engine noice

One left with some quite extensive damage to the side around 16:20

What is the 002 branded one that has the near side panels missing with diamond on?
