Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[Jack]

Are 20849 and 20855 still operations out of tividale?

20849 was withdrawn ages ago after being written off in an RTC, was an awful bus.
20855 was sold sometime last year.

Bet that looks smart! Hope it stays away from West Bromwich.  The new two tone livery is a massive improvement on allover dark blue.

It was on the 40 this afternoon...

In my opinion, I can't understand why they have painted this...
Surely it would make more sense to get all the vehicles that are not in any kind of Diamond Bus livery (e.g. Ex. Central bus, Hansons & Wessex vehicles) into the new livery before re-painting buses that are already in some sort of Diamond livery anyway (vehicles in the old Diamond livery are better than having vehicles running around in previous operators liveries!)

Most likely 30509 was repainted following accident repairs.

It hit a lamppost on New Street on the 16W in West Brom, ironically it wasn't the first time 30509 hit a lamppost in West Brom...

Apart from the 30/74A and the MH13, which other routes are the Tividale Mellors allocated to?

Mainly looking at routes in the S&D nbus zone
