There
were never any new ADL products in the Rotala/Diamond
Bus fleets until 2024 when new vehicles were ordered for
the first tranche of TfGM franchises. Up to them most
new vehicles came from the Wrights range of vehicles.
This is not to say the company has not operated ADL
products but all have been either purchased second hand
or acquired with the purchase of other bus companies.
Following the delivery of the second batch of new ADL
single deckers for Manchester a number of additional
vehicles have been purchased for both the Preston and
West Midlands operations. To tie in with the stat of new
TfWM contracts in the West Midlands from Sunday 5th
January 2025 3 brand new ADL single deckers were put
into service from the Tividale depot. The vehicles
arrived in dealer white and were put straight into
service.
