Daf double deckers

40633/4  LJ04LFV/GA

As part of the deal to purchase Midland Classic 2 Wrights bodied double deckers joined the Diamond Bus fleet. These vehicles are on VDL chassis’  and they both started life with Arriva  in their London red bus operation. 40633 had the Arriva fleet number DW82 and 40634 had the DW87 number. Both joined the Midland Classic fleet in 2008 and were soon painted in their Red and yellow livery and were fitted with electronic destination blinds. Unlike the newer ADL double deckers both have retained their dual door arrangement. In common with many operators of dual door vehicles the centre doors are only used as an emergency exit.
