Diamond Bus North West

RE: Diamond Bus North West
From what I can gather the additional deckers are just for Schools and won't see any use on service work which is a shame as I'm sure now we're getting into the festive season that some duties on X50 could do with the odd decker on them.

Another thing is that for some reason I can't find any record of which deckers Diamond Northwest have actually got as oddly for some reason they've not been updated onto the Diamond Bus fleetlist on BusTimes, as a result I don't actually think these additional deckers are actually tracking when in service.

So far 23 single deck vehicles have been accounted for Tranche 3, 11 E200MMCs and 12 Stratas (6 new, 4 from Stagecoach & 2 from Nexus) are any more likely to be acquired? as I think none Schools have a PVR of 25.

RE: Diamond Bus North West
Bus times was showing the first one running a 740 service today, which TfGM advertise as being a Belle Vue route. So that might explain why it's not showing as tracking on a Diamond route.
