Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[Matt.N0056]

I've seen Diamond buses parked up in Acocks Green village (Shirley Road) out of service, showing 'Kidderminster Depot' on the displays.

Hanover displays seem to have Redditch and Kidderminster routes,
Mobitec have all 3. May have changed recently due to them being updated.

Where have you heard that from?

The 142 has had MPD's or Solo's for a long time, why larger buses now when it's only just been extended.

A driver confirmed half a million buses going onto 142. May be something to do with the info on rotala Plc thread?

Tividale still operating 202

Must be a very busy route?

Fairly good loadings especially during peak hours

The Pvr of the 142 hasn't half increased still it was extended....

There hasn't been any Rotala new bus order announcements, I'd expect the Bus Alliance quote would refer to a higher profile corridor such as the 4/4H or 301/302 etc

500,000 buses is a lot of buses... I not convinced that this information is very reliable...

Things must be going well. Stagecoach runs around 8000 buses in the U.K and First around 9000.

Get your facts right 😉 Half a million investment in buses I meant

To put that into perspective NXWM took delivery of over £1m investment today. Half a million is about 3 StreetLites

But if a driver said so, it must be right.....
