Saw a Black Diamond Solo on the 59 in Wolves yesterday.
I miss the smart-looking Red Diamond B7RLEs they had on there initially, though they were never full.

In Wolves
4311 was on the 33

Just like the good old days when Tridents were common on 32/33 :)
We'll get rid of your bus to Wolves and replace it with one to Walsall instead.......... Oh the joy of a Network Review. -_-

Yeah i remember when Diamond used Volvos on the 59, seeing the competition at first comfused me and even 2 years later i dont see the point when they dont get many people on them ever

The 32/33 allocation used to be a mix of Excels, Tridents and Spectras (a few Metrobuses before that) then last year it went to the horrid mini Excels and now its just everything like today, 1682, 684 and a spectra

If Scanias are appering commonly on the 22/23 then were are the Hybrids being placed, as the Hybrids were intended for that route

Well there obviously not being placed on the 22/23 regularly as the post has been put in the Unusual Workings Topic! Perhaps a Hybrid was out of action for the day or something, it doesn't automatically mean there being placed elsewhere.

Probably unusual for now, but maybe not in a few weeks, you'd often get a B10L doing a full day-shift on the 31/31A, but now as the B10Ls have all now been replaced by B7RLEs, you'll see them more often from time to time.

At least it made a change from them being on the 1 or 37.  ;)
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

2122, 2132 & 2143 all on the 58. Solihull is looking very modern now, except for a B10L on the 6. There was a Scania on the 3 weirdly, and a selection of Tridents on the 6.

AG had a couple of B7RLEs on the 37 with a 37 branded vehicle on the 71 and one on the 73.

As I'm typing this, a Gemini is driving past my house with the coolers blaring.
