Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[Michael Bevan]

Just been sent a photo of ex Central Buses Dennis Dart 30961 in the new Brighter Diamond livery. Looks like it's literally only just arrived back from Wilcox. Also E200 30964 is now in the new livery too.

I saw a Diamond bus on a training duty today, at the top of the Collector Road (Smith's Wood/Bacons End side). No special livery, just the matrix declaring that it was a training vehicle.

Some of them run in service on the 25 displaying that. So might not necessarily have been a training vehicle.

Dead route from 75 to 25.

It would've been this one that I saw:

From the starting location, it had stopped in the last lay-by on the Collector Road.

I think the regular driver who does the 25 uses that blind when he's running out of service. I've seen him use it a few times when running empty back to Tividale.

I think you will find the 31/32 branded vehicles only appear on the 002 peak boards, where they are running together with a streetlite.

@Trident 4194 I have seen a 31/32 branded on 226 sometimes so they do venture off route

That will be for the dupe trip when school kids come out

21106 and 30966 are now both branded for the 35/A. I believe 30964 will also be receiving branding too.

Whilst on 30925 yesterday on 42 I noticed it's now got a TV. , is this a new thing ? Don't normally travel on them I've attached a photo , just wondering if anyone have got them and will the 42/3 gain next stop announcements.

There's no photo attached, but it is a new addition. The buses for the partnership routes are getting them added with next stop announcements, and I think the 16/226 might be too.

Cheers for the info , sorry about it wasn't letting me add the photo ( too big ) but it did say 42 Dudley on it as I got on , wonder if nx will be adding the same to there buses maybe ?

Always seems a lot of standard diamond vehicles on the joint routes such as 40,42,43 instead of using the vehicles in red

off for maintenance  or give the bus a rest instead of been out mon-sat  or sunday as they run a handfull on sunday some times they put branded buses on other services like 229
