They were ordered for Rotala's Hallmark subsidiary but aren't required there at present. Other examples of this batch have entered service in the Midlands recently

20185 is currently showing on Bus Times as operating in the W Mids. I know it could be just a ticket machine showing though.

"GHG" should probably really be 20186. Diamond have plenty of previous when it comes to numbering vehicles incorrectly.

I see some of the buses now count down there departure on the destination screen as one just gone past me saying 0 mins to departure on 471
RE: Diamond Bus North West - M60lad - 25/11/2020 07:01
Most if not all of the new buses can have the countdown on the destination screens its just whether or not the driver decides to use it or whether or not the driver knows how to get the countdown up.

Pretty sure 40705 is back from it's upper deck rebuild. Saw it on Manchester Rd, Bolton earlier. Too dark to see full registration but pretty sure it's was said bus. Looked shiny and still had full white destination screens all round whereas all the other have been swapped to orange.
Also brand new 40794 is another 471 branded vehicle.
