Re: Another StreetLite (or two !)
Leicester no longer have the 65 plate Streetlites, they were replaced by GB Kites & have since moved on to First Potteries.

Re: "At the garage today .... "
According to the below 35153 is staying at Worcester, whilst the other two 31576/7 are passing through: https://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?topic=2889.msg316039#msg316039 I assume 35151/52/54 & 55 could also potentially join Worcester (i.e. all 5 x 65 plates at Leicester) to make the full ba...

Re: Didn't see this coming
As I understand it the whole business model of Diamond is to borrow large amounts of money from banks to buy businesses and sell them on for a profit - my sister who is an accountant says there is a term for this but I don't recall what it is! I have noticed recently a lot of 20 reg double deckers ...

Re: Diamond Takes over
It will be First HQ that decide the fate of Worcester, not local management.
Is anything happening as regards sourcing a new depot to replace Padmore St, I believe the land has been sold or very close to be sold.

Re: Diamond Takes over
I suspect sooner rather than later, Rotala will also takeover in Worcester.

Re: 66820 (MX05 CEJ)
A chance was missed today as at least 4 Volvos turned up for fuel early afternoon. The only one that I got the number was 66901, they all had Diamond logos on the front and First South West legal lettering on the windscreen, obviously being transferred from Manchester to Devon or Somerset. They wer...

Re: Double Deckers
Do I remember there being vehicles on loan in Manchester from First following the depot sales which are due to be returned, maybe some of these will provide either elsewhere in the group or directly to Leicester or Worcester (can’t remember what vehicles were involved.) I may be completely off pist...

Re: Double Deckers
I believe some of that fleet are heading to the Midlands, but not Worcester and not double-decks! Nine StreetLites to Leicester and three to Potteries have been mentioned elsewhere. The Streetlites First Manchester have are all allocated to Oldham. I believe there have been a number of service cuts...
