I agree here-I would like to see more repaints of buses though.

Oh dear-this looks quite bad! These solos are quite nice as well and have only just been transferred from diamond... Do we reckon this will be repaired or not?

A newer bus stands a lot more chance of being repaired due to its book value

Noticed Diamond were supporting the poppies too.

Are Diamond short of drivers at Long Acre ?, as all the buses I've seen so far.  Have got massive blue circles on the rear advertising to drive this bus etc?

Have you got a picture of this at all? And as I have previously said, it seems long acre have a high turnover of drivers...a lot higher than tividale

The Kidderminster buses have similar adverts. Also a lot of new drivers route learning recently.

You'd expect that with the amount of commercial work that has been withdrawn, contract & tendered work that has been lost & now Long Acre depot is up for sale, which would put uncertainty in the minds of those still working there for the future.

Were they both busy, out of interest?
