Does anyone know which routes the ex Hanson's vehicles 20530/1/2 usually are allocated to?

Huh, wasn't expecting Diamond to keep the 276 route, I thought Hansons only had it to avoid running dead from Stourbridge to Dudley?

One for Simon to consider?

X30 Coventry station to Ansty Park (out of city).

There is far too much distance between the Fairfax St swimming baths stop FX1 and the next stop at Gosford Green (end of Sky Blue Way) which is way outside the city centre. Must be more than 1/2 a mile.

Why not also call at Hales St (Old Fire Station) DF stop which breaks up the distance? Might also pick up a few extra fares?

From the station I have seen quite a few people not realise Fairfax St is the last stop for city centre and they cant then get off until Gosford Green to get back to town. To then have to cross a very busy and dangerous dual carriageway to find a city bound service just makes it all worse. Introducing Stop DF would become your insurance plan as the X30 passes the outside of Pool Meadow.

Remember that Diamond start operating on Hanson's services from next week. Timetables are now on the diamond site.

There is also a timetable change on the 004 the following week

The frequency will be reduced to hourly during the day, remaining half hourly at peak times and with an extra bus at about 11am/midday.

The new timetable per the Diamond website is very strange. It's basically hourly but every 2 to 3 hours there is a half hourly bus slotted in. The gap becomes 30 / 30 / 60 / 30 / 30 / 60 /60 in places.  Think this is likely to cause a bit of confusion, especially given all the changes to the 004 over the last 12 months. 

Also spotted that the timetable on the Diamond website doesn't match the new timetable on the Network West Midlands which I believe is what the Hansons revised timetable was due to be.

Just a thought as so many operators going bust or being closed down there's a boat load of second hand enviro 200s knocking around at various dealers
As diamond have bought hansons enviro 200s to go in there fleet wonder if future buses will be enviro 200s to replace older darts
Your thoughts?

Does anyone know which diamond vehicles are out on the ex Hanson's services today?
