Diamond have their own tow truck, that unusual this day and age.

Yes I realise that the Diamond 25 contract only specifies capacity and emissions but I was being more general. I realise in hindsight my comment wasn't clear about that.

Yeah they do, I'm not sure if they have 2 but they definitely have one, if I knew how to attach a photo I'd put the photo in as I've got a few photos of it.

There's an 'Insert an image' option, next to the You Tube logo.

Quote from: Jay71 on April 03, 2024, 08:41:50 PMTonight. Can you explain why 20886 didn't leave Upper Dean St at 2030. I know that the bus arrived at Upper Dean St at about 2037. 
@Jay71 how on earth do you expect a bus to depart on time when it is running late?

Isn't this the same person who moans about the 42 in the evenings running late? I'm assuming they are arriving late hence why they leave late but where's the logic there...

Mayfield

He probably means does anyone know why it was late turning up for the 8.30 departure to be fair

That Veichle looking at the tracking was late leaving Dudley on it's last Journey on the 74A. Dudley is gonna be congested due to the Tram Works and other Road works. All you need to do is use the Bustimes map to figure out why it may be late

The bus was taken out of service. Why was it taken out of service

20886 wasn't taken out of service, it stayed out on the 16A until the end of the service.

Are you saying that I need to get new glasses???
The bus unloaded by the 35 stop. Then went past the 16a stop with Sorry,  not in service on the destination board

No, I'm going off tracking data only. The above statement is also different to what you said in Simon's thread.

Do you only come on here to moan & complain??

If a company chooses to run a dire/shambolic then I will moan & complain about it. 
Last week I complimented Travel Express. I see that you've chosen to ignore that comment.

Do your moaning / complaining via the official company channels then, instead of keep using an enthusiast's forum.
 
I've not chosen to ignore anything, I don't read everyone's posts / all of the time / in all threads, it's based on the majority of your posts.
