Streetlite 32260 on 303.

Not sure what happened yesterday lunchtime Saturday 27 June 2026; I saw Wright Streetlite 32260 Reg. No. BN23 YSD (new to Diamond 03/2023 with B41F seating) work past my house at 11-10 AM and I subsequently went upstairs to photograph it on the return working to Kidderminster at 11-30 from Worcester Crowngate (11-41 in Grange Avenue). For whatever reason it got as far as Parkland Road by 11-45 just before making the turn into Grange Avenue and didn't move for an hour, eventually running a few minutes ahead of the 12-30 bus to Kidderminster ex Worcester Crowngate operated by Volvo B7RLE 30409, Reg. No. YJ07 OZV with Wright Eclipse Urban DP44F bodywork, new 04/2007 to Lancashire United as their 1817.

32260 did turn up on a later working, the 15-30 303 from Kidderminster to Worcester and, as these buses are relatively rare on this service, I was able to take the attached shot of it running to time on the return 16-35 working ex Worcester Crowngate to Kidderminster.

Curiously 32260 has been repainted in the current two-tone blue but doesn't have the multi-coloured diamond stripe between the dark and light blue, or the large logo DIAMOND vinyls; any idea why?

Another Wright Streetlite has been working the 303 all day so far, it is 32333 Reg. No.
SN64 CTY new to Transdev Keighley and District 01/2015 with B37F layout. It was acquired by Rotala Diamond 07/2024 and is seen today, Monday 29 June 2026, operating the 14-30 working from Worcester Crowngate to Kidderminster along Grange Avenue, more or less on time.
