Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[2206]

Dose anyone know what way the 72 will be diverted tonight. Or if they'll use the same route as NX?

[Tony]

The Tividale & Preston ones must being built together then, the 1st Preston one hasn't arrived at Heysham as yet. If that's the case, the Tividale one has snuck in though the docks as well without being spotted.

At least one of Tividale's is here, there's a photo on Facebook of it

Looking at the fleetnumbers, Tividale's were the last four of the batch of 10, but their delivery appears to have been brought forward

What's the odds of them not getting allocated to the 226?

The 226 couldn't support the new vehicles

@Tony, those pictures you've seen on Facebook of the Streetlites are the ones that are in Redditch unless you've seen different ones?

[Ash]

Some people may have caught a glimpse of one of the new streetlites for Tividale as it was taken on a photoshoot and was later parked up in West Bromwich Bus Station for a short while.

How many have been delivered? I thought Preston were originally having theirs first.

The ones that are on the latest April fleet list changes for Rotala.

The fleetchanges are for March, the previous batch of 65 plate Streetlites were all showing on the Feb fleet changes (bar 32214), yet the last four at Redditch have only recently been delivered & entered service & Atherton only received it's allover blue example mid last week

I wouldn't mind them on 16/50?

I wouldn't mind them on 16/50?

I would. As would people that use the route.
Streetlite + Hill (of which there are many on the 16) = painful

Hehe
@Kevin you have any idea what fleet number buses are on 16 today. Hoping no ex Redditch crap

Come on.. I know better than that. One of the staff at Tividale has posted a photo of a 16 plate one on his timeline under the words New toy

I find sitting on the ex Redditch "red" urbans very therapeutic
