2 of the 20 plate streetlite are now branded for the 16 service , West Brom to Birmingham looks very good

If anyone isn't on Facebook, here's a few of the photos of them, courtesy of Kieran at Diamond. The branding definitely looks great now that it's on the actual buses imho.

I think the 226 should be rebranded to be like this

Diamond Optare Solo unusually parked in Tesco, Ward End car park with "L Driver Training" on the display at 14:00.
Not seen a bus parked there before. Looks like the one I saw on the 25 earlier, so the driver might have parked it there while he went in the shop.

Was 20053 according to Bus Times.

Yes, probably, buses getting stuck behind stranded cars in the Halesowen, and in Bartley Green the buses themselves have got stuck

Yes it's very bad in my area. What happens to the drivers of those buses if they can't get anywhere? Surely driving hours exceeded?

They are not driving! Time stationary in a bus counts as working time with DVSA, but driving time is only when the wheels are turning.

Ah got you. Still if I was a driver stuck I would be pretty pissed off.

Yes, It can do that. Pensnett's engineers are out trying to free their buses with salt & shovels so I would hope Tividale is doing something similar

4H has a lot of solos on it today. I suppose when they are running around empty it don't matter what they put on it really. 20050,20840,20888, and 20912 on it so it seems
