Winston on balance v89moa should also get a warning for swearing & provoking Will. Not defending wills potty mouth but both should be warned not just one.

Thanks for your review Steve, not sure why you're all getting involved.... Admin's decision is final. However, Will was warned about his 'hissy fits' a couple of weeks back & threatened with a ban, Fyi he said he didn't care then either, Winston

If Diamond did lose its licence, who could take over?

They've taken over the opposition themselves!

(Nx wouldnt go in there surely?)

As the outcome of the latest PI was a relatively small fine, I think there is a long way to go before there is a possibility of Diamond losing their license

Yeah, but who would take over?

I think that's the issue, there is nobody realistically.

I agree with @metrocity that it is a very long way from that outcome.

Confirmation from the website as to what service are changing from September, but no detail as yet on Diamond's website.

https://www.diamondbuses.com/news/worcestershire-september-service-changes/

However the timetables available on traveline do seem to show:

2 - reduced to hourly and now runs direct to Wribbenhall and Hales Park, no longer serving Habberley or Bark Hill
2A -new service also hourly in conjunction with 2 to maintain the half hourly Bewdley service. Runs directly to Wribbenhall then to Bark Hill.

So in summary the 2/2A will be quicker to Bewdley, but the frequency to Bark Hill and Hales Park is reduced to hourly and there appears to be no replacement for Habberley...

3 - Monday to Friday peak service increased to every 12 minutes, and later journey Mon to Sats at 2100 hours. Sunday journey times increased but hourly frequency retained.

10 - Circular service now runs round the estates in the reverse direction. Diverted down Chester Road South to serve Spennels first, back into town via Offmore. Later last journeys each day. Appears not to be serving Comberton estate

So some gains (quicker to Bewdley, more peak buses to Stourport, increased service to Chester Road South) and some losers in a reduced frequency to Hales Park and Bewdley whilst Habberley and Comberton estates seem to lose their service entirely!
