Brilliant, I have a video my husband took when he was training at Bolton in June 21. I must upload it one of the days. He drives for Diamond West Midlands from the Tividale depot and really enjoys it.

Love these depot tours. Would love to see Stagecoach Sharston or Middleton at some point. Keep them coming!

[@Hannah_taylor1237]

a lot of the depot staff you spoke to while there are still there most of the cleaning staff has changed but most of the office staff is the same (current shunter at Bolton)

MX06 VMZ was probably my favorite Urban at First as it was dressed up in a Heritage livery back in 2013 for Ramsbottom. Looked amazing back then but it soon got painted in the new First 2012 Livery. Sad to see it gone.

"most of our fleet are Mercedes-Benz citaros" Not anymore. The entirety of the diamond fleet is now streetdecks with a few streetlites, AD E200's and MC citaros.

[@TransportWithDee]

The thing I hate about Diamond spec streetdecks - now USB chargers on the front seats.

[@TransportWithDee]

I agree, the 20 plates and above are built like the Vantage stock with no USB's at the front requiring people to twist round and charge their phone on the seat behind. Transdev and the 19 plates are okay because they have some at the front

[@james_aviationn5879]

Amazing video, how do you get permission to visit a depot?

[@user-PK-23]

It depends who you get in touch with for instance Arriva always said no! because of health and safety but, One day I messaged them on Facebook and they said yeah we'll give the Depot Manager Alan at Ashington a call and let him set up a day with you to get your pictures and so we did after that I went a few more times and Alan is always fine to let me email and go down there to get any pictures I want and if the buses are not in and one is in service that can come off he'll get it bought on down so I Can get the pictures and job's a good in and if he is busy the drivers normally show you around though they tend to show you literally everything 🤣 But all in it depends on who you get in touch with on a certain day.. Allot of the independent operators are much more likely to let you go and do what you want and let you get on with it but the main thing is with the bigger companies they have to protect you because there can be so much going on around a certain depot so if they just couldn't manage it or have the staff to help they will just say no but there is never any harm in asking ☺

[@zainahmed4685]

Diamond buses are nice but the seats at the back of the Streetdecks are cramped

[@boltonbongo]
