RE: Diamond Bus North West - SK15 GZG - 01/09/2019 22:01 Is anyone aware of how many First specification StreetDecks are expected by Diamond please?

Atherton were also covering an Eccles board with a TfGM Versa (should have been 30143 - but kept getting changed around). The MOT bay at Atherton will remain open. The two Streetlites still in Preston base colours are now Bolton's. It looks as though Rotala have now acquired the 4 ex First Bolton training buses currently at Preston, but with DBNW legals: Volvo B10BLE / Wright trainers 60640/ 60651 & 60663 at least: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mjrprestonbus/48574916987 https://www.flickr.com/photos/mjrprestonbus/48591978026 https://www.flickr.com/photos/mjrprestonbus/48657343233 RE: Diamond Bus North West - Winston - 02/09/2019 00:11 (01/09/2019 22:01)Y474 KNF Wrote: Is anyone aware of how many First specification StreetDecks are expected by Diamond please? Unless anything changes in the meantime, only those that are currently with DBNW @ Bolton.

Many thanks RE: Diamond Bus North West - gilesbus1 - 03/09/2019 21:35 Seen today was a further Citaro BF60???think BF60 OFA but can't be 100% I am afraid, in plain Diamond North West Livery without flashes or transfers operating on service 683. It has no fixed destination it was just on Paper which had been hi-lighted over with Yellow Highlighter. Perhaps unusually, maybe due to unfamiliarity with the route was Solo YJ57EKK on service 695 operating some 4 miles off route along Leigh Road in Atherleigh running towards Atherton with a full load rather than via Astley, this was the only such vehicle I did see off route though. This also had the route number on a sheet of A4 highlighted in Yellow but there was also a full destination as well.

There was a tfgm hybrid solo on the 715 too which is an interesting allocation RE: Diamond Bus North West - gilesbus1 - 03/09/2019 22:02 I can now confirm that the Citaro that I have seen is 30030 BF60 OFA. Apparently 30019 BV10 ZJU should also be around at Bolton according to recent fleet lists found online. These seem not to operate on 582's with the other batch, or at least not so far.

So please keep eyes peeled for more.

According to its tracker 30019 was operating in Coventry yesterday RE: Diamond Bus North West - gilesbus1 - 03/09/2019 23:03 (03/09/2019 22:27)Nwales Bus Wrote: According to its tracker 30019 was operating in Coventry yesterday Seems strange, obviously not due then, a pair of None TfGM None Hybrid Versa's are also reported on the same list but no sign of them either. |
