Diamond West Midlands - Redditch

[tank90]

It maybe out lined well online, how ever since they have not long sent out route maps to homes in the area it seems like a backwards step to then cut the services you have just promoted.

[MasterPlan]

All the services listed are at risk only & the current changes are only proposals at this stage, they may not all be implemented.
Its still possible that some funding or subsidy could still be found that will save some of the routes from withdrawal 

I know. I'm just saying it's good communication.

Can anyone tell me what vehicles ran the 149/ 149S today please (Friday 24/6/22) as the bustimes.org tracker is not showing any ??

And did the last scheduled return journey actually run please ??

[Martin]

DD12 it was one of the 14 plate Gemini's as I was waiting for the 303 from Worcester to take me to work. The reason it wasn't tracking was because it didn't have a ticket machine fitted to it.

Replacement services to be operated by Stagecoach Midlands following retendering.

Replacement services to be operated by Stagecoach Midlands following retendering.

Surprised Diamond have lost the lot after only recently acquiring Johnson's business.

[the trainbasher]

Ouch... does that mean we'll see Stagecoach buses in Brum again?

[Solo1]

How much dead mileage is it daily from Redditch to Stratford Stagecoach has a depot in Stratford so makes more sense for them to run Stratford/ Leamington services but why Johnsons

Dead mileage doesn't appear to be a concern for Diamond let's be honest, otherwise they'd run the 50 from Redditch and extend journeys there
Potential for some of the Stratford services to transfer to Stagecoach West and run the out of Banbury depot (personal wish, obviously)

[midlandred2003]

Stagecoach have a garage In Stratford unless it's closed.
