As it currently stands, 20726 & 20918 + 20885 (Diamond WM) were all transfers due to Preston Bus gaining extra work.

I’ve noticed that the Streetdecks seem to be all on the 163s.

Registration changes for April have appeared today. Looks like Diamond will take over the remaining evening journeys on the 2 from First. Also confirmation taking over the 217 from MCT, along with evening journeys on the 247 from Arriva.

There is also a route and timetable change for the X8 (may be re-routing to Shudehill instead of Piccadilly Gardens), while there's a cancellation for the journeys they operate on the 19 and 245 in Altrincham.

The 247 diamond are taking on is the evening tender that MCT currently operate. Diamond have won it as a re-tender.

There's only that one due for NW, with two more of the same due for Diamond WM

I doubt we shall see many 20-reg buses, or vehicles in general.

Shurely this must mean the first StreetDecks arent far away as April is when they are due.
