Look at it logically.  The later they run, the closer they are to the Hansons bus behind them, and the more Hansons passengers they steal.

you can bet with diamond that as soon as they find a more profitable use for the vehicles they will be off the 226 like a shot

Is it time then for Vosa to start looking at the compliance then of diamond if they are running like cowboys they need to be punished espically on the 226 if they have agreed spacing with centro

Whenever VOSA are out Diamond act all good boys but when they ain't is when they play up. The vehicles on the route (454/5 & 535/6) are rubbish, they struggle to even get into 2nd gear! The sooner Diamond come off the route or sell the better.

You cannot possibly know that! The VOSA people who check on running do not stand there in a hi-vis vest with VOSA time checks written allover them. The are completely different people than those who check vehicles. Incidently the vehicle checkers were in Dudley last week, did they find any faults on Diamonds '226' vehicles?

Nathan- I know the Blue Diamonds have had a bad press over the years  ::) but TBF the two that were used to cover the 66a services last week end were almost spot on-but then there's not a great deal of traffic on Sundays mornings-maybe the drivers make an effort when there's overtime on offer :) and, of course their co-operation with WM.
Mind the Gap.....?:-)
