RE: Diamond Bus North West
22401/2/3 are the ones recieving branding for the 13.

30221 has moved to Preston for Training Bus conversion.

Despite arriving from Wessex stickered up as 20919, turns out it is actually 20918 and has had its fleet number altered to show.

20402 has been liveried for Service 13, but was in Altrincham today, as was unliveried 20401.

20403 is at Preston covering a vehicle shortage, it's expected to be repainted at Preston afterwards and receive it's branding

Big news here over the last few weeks is that Diamond North West ended Double-Deck operation at the end of last month with most if not all deckers passing to Preston Bus which is using then to replace its native Tridents that are now falling appart with several of them already being withdrawn.

4 new Wright Streetlites are said to be on order for Atherton depot these are 9.6m versions so are possibly to replace older Optare Solo's or Midibuses

Mellor Strada demonstrator LK68ZTC seen in Altrincham on school service 768 (Partington to St.Ambrose, Hale Barns). I believe this is an Atherton working.

RE: Diamond Bus North West
The 768/Mellor Demo is an Eccles working and is on loan until the end of the week. One streetlight has arrived at Atherton, I never took the reg but it's gone down to Tovodale for repaint before returning with the rest.

It now feels a treat to have done the 2 double-deckers in Wigan in November.
