5 new Streetlites for Kidderminster
Posted: 15:25 Wednesday 9th September 2020
My car was in for service yesterday and today so used the bus for first time since start of pandemic restrictions in March and surprised when a brand new white Streetlite turned up on Diamond 303 for journey from Crowngate to New Inn yesterday. My attempts to photograph it on the return journey were a blurred failure as I am a bit wobbly on my pins with sciatica! However I made up for it at lunchtime today on way over to Powick to pick up the car with a few shots in Angel Street.
Internally the decor is surprisingly tasteful with dark grey dashboard, lighter grey pillars, white roof and grab rails with blue/grey leather seats - nothing garish! Most of the area normally used for buggy space on the offside just behind the front wheel arch is taken up with a very large two-tier luggage rack, which makes me wonder if these buses were originally intended as airport link vehicles. As they are in white livery I wonder too if they are on lease, can anyone confirm or provide an answer please?
