[Trident 4194]

To school on 4H I had:30834(301 branded) running in convoy with 30492
30492 was my bus home

[Kevin]

29077 (Streetlite) on the 16 this morning.
I can just about accept slow acceleration on buses these days, because all newer buses seem to be like that.
But my god is this thing crap at climbing hills.... Straight up could have walked faster up Hamstead Hill than it this morning

[Trident 4194]

4H allocation today:
30491
30489
30408
30002
30813
3082*

A tividale driver Saturday said" this is a diamond bus, nothing works properly" in relation to faulty doors made me laugh

Saw a brand new 65  'reg which streetlite heading to tivadale garage this morning it had diamond on the display in oldbury before 10am

Hopefully any new Streetlites are geared up to tackle hills.... Because, you know, the Black Country is quite hilly and all

The 2 for Atherton are due first along with one for RH during Jan, the other 7 coming for RH will arrive in Feb, these will be Euro 5 cummins engined examples. The other 10 will be Euro 6 and follow later

Ok thanks @Winston

The 226 appears to have changed to majority full size bus allocation, there was a 13 plate B7RLE & 30492 on there yesterday, this morning 30490 & 30850, seems a bit OTT for passenger numbers.

All 3 branded 29 Darts on the 29 today, one kept cutting out though, driver said, that is how it is at Diamond lol  3 buses run on the 29 throughout the day, does any other buses on this route in AM peak perhaps?

[Tomf1993]

Only 2 buses seem to be running on the 29 today big gap in between, meant to be 3 buses

Are the Streetlites out today that are on loan from redditch
