PD0001374/374 - DIAMOND BUS LTD, HALLBRIDGE WAY, TIPTON ROAD, TIVIDALE, WARLEY, B69 3HW
    Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Sparkhill, Warwick Road/Baker Street and Belchers Lane (island) given service number 36 effective from 26-Apr-2015. To amend Timetable.


First thing that comes to mind is the 45 min frequency, maybe they're going to make something more clockface from it?

Hopefully its to avoid waiting in Acocks Green and clogging up stand AL while the 30 and 96/99 are also laying over there!

There's a certain driver that simply can not drive. He revs the bus really hard and then takes the foot of the gas, he drives really fast then slows down, he stops at every bus stop even though he can clearly see no one wants to get on or off. He is constantly messing with something in the cab for some reason. I'm not mentioning any names incase he gets told off.

On the contrary there is a really nice old guy who is a very good driver and very wise, and even drops me off right outside my school, when the bus stop is about 3 minutes away.

If it's the one I'm thinking of he's never been to sure as a bus driver really. Really nice guy to speak to but I sadly think he chose the wrong career. Its an e-cig he's always messing with in the cab!

I know who your referring to with the nice guy as well, a genuinely nice guy that tries to help everyone :-)

If he is using an e-cig whilst in the cab on the bus, then Simon will be having words. It is policy that normal or e-cigs are not to be used in the cab or on the bus by drivers.

Well if he is breaching company policy and regulations then any reputable company would be required to investigate it otherwise they would be party to a ET in the future if procedures were not followed.

Aye I agree.

It's whether or not anyone tells Rotala it's happening.
