DART SLF 42889 (VX54 MUC) gone for scrap from Diamond
Re: DART SLF 42889 (VX54 MUC) gone for scrap from Diamond
I thought VX54 MUP was still clinging on as it is currently tracking on the 4H to Walsall, but that must be a tracking error as after looking up the reg she is registered as SORN... Unless she was off the road for a substantial amount of time & happened to re-entered service today...

Did 42889 spend its whole life at Kidderminster?
Re: DART SLF 42889 (VX54 MUC) gone for scrap from Diamond
Apparently it spent its whole working life at Kidderminster garage; I may have missed a move reported in past PSV Circle News sheets under the Diamond heading, but such moves usually appear under First Bus Midland Red a month or so later when ex First Bus vehicles move with their new operator, giving a 'double-check'.
WM Bus photos website seems to confirm 30930 as KR throughout as per attached link;

I can confirm the 3 54 plate darts Rotala acquired with the Kidderminster and Redditch depots have stayed at Kidderminster the whole time since 2013 until withdrawal .. The 3 Enviro 300's (long since gone) did move around the depots having started at Redditch when the takeover took place
