Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[I love Walsall buses]

Solo's 20539 & 20828 appear to be recent withdrawals parked up in John St yard. 40540-3 ex Preston are all in John St along with at least 3 ex Wessex VDL / Gemini's. A number of scrappers appear to have left from the bottom of the yard & half the existing office block has been demolished.

In the main depot, there's an allover white DF Streetlite, an allover white Mercedes Tourismo coach (12204?), Solo 20055 is still in Regal Busways livery and 30201 is still parked up, all are in the VOR section nearest the road.

Maybe 20055 might go into the new diamond livery

Or five minutes late perhaps.

Or five minutes late perhaps.

Not when it waits 10 minutes at the terminus. Few drivers been doing this as of late. Not sure if intentional or not.

30407 broke today. Why don't they just repair the buses to a good standard. No doubt it will be out tommorow in limp mode again

There was a WMB liveried B7RLE parked up in Bilston being filled with water before driving off. It was then parked outside the park in Princes End with a Central liveried Versa behind, so presumably that'll be on the 42/43 this afternoon if anyone wants to get a shot.

30942 - BX13 NZT (31/32 branded)

I think at one point 30943 & 30949 were also down for gaining TfWM livery, but plans have since changed
