Kidderminster Depot

Former Diamond Bus Volvo B7 30858 which started life at Redditch as a Red Diamond vehicle has moved back to the West Midlands and is running from Kidderminster Depot. The vehicle is in Preston Bus livery with Diamond North West Fleet names. Ironically on Saturday the vehicle was in Redditch on the service 52. This is first Diamond bus vehicle to run in the West Midlands in Preston Bus livery. The allocation will only be short term as once the remainder of the cascades from the North West happen with the remainder of the new vehicles it will be replaced

Here are a few photographs of 30858 working along Grange Avenue, Worcester today, 20 February 2024, on the 303 route between Worcester and Kidderminster.

it's on the 192 today, and at least it's showing some indication of what route it is on, with a piece of paper in the corner of the windscreen!

This is first Diamond bus vehicle to run in the West Midlands in Preston Bus livery.

Perhaps in this version of the Preston Bus Livery, however a number of years ago, when Redditch still ran the Versa Hybrids, they were joined by examples from Preston Bus complete in the older PB livery.
