Here we have an Enviro200 based at Kidderminster garage on route 145A. This one started out life at Central Buses branded for the Xpre55 route, an express route between Lichfield and Tamworth which ran in competition with Arriva. It was later debranded and used on other services at Central. As with any decent independent round here, Central Buses were eventually taken over by Diamond.
Now it spends most of its days on the 145 and 145A services which are quite pleasant with them going through some scenic small towns and villages and its also nice to see that being under Diamond's maintenance hasn't been too detrimental to the condition of this bus with it having a good amount of power which was needed for the route's many hills
