I live in Sutton and use the 168.
Today,the bus due to arrive in Sutton at 1400 failed to turn up.leaving my Wife and me ,(and doubtless others ) standing.This is by no means an isolated incident.The general impression I get is that Blue Diamond is rather a tatty and unreliable Company and has been for some considerable time.
You can rebrand as much as you like (Central Connect,Blue Diamond,or whatever ) but it is just a gimmick and cannot replace reliability.

I couldn't agree more!

Changing to Blue Diamond buses, the S2 and S3 is becoming a very unreliable route. This route is meant to be Signature buses but recently horrible 06 Solos have turned up with one on today. They struggle to get up any inclines and are generally very noisy and uncomfortable. Secondly the evening S2, 17:28 at Solihull has recently become excessively late. One friend needs to catch that bus home from work and on four occasions now has that person had no bus turn up. Today I saw this bus go up to Solihull 15 minutes late but never came back! So my friend has to catch the late running S3 and walk a fair distance home. This is happening too often! Does anyone else have the same problem on other bus routes and what would be a good course of action?

Thanks! I assume it will be scrapped one day soon?

Suprised you haven't seen it on here that the 1 (WN) is due the 21 x Hybrid deckers announced last week as part of the Green Bus Fund 3, these are due Early 2013

Whether these will be used to see off the Spectra's who know's

The 1 in Wolverhampton could do with some new buses. One of my friends uses it regularly and usually comments to me on how bad some of the buses used are. I know she'd appreciate some new buses on it!

Good news then that new buses shall soon arrive. Although it may well see the end of the spectras.

Does anyone know where my fav bus 528 Crusader is now?

It would be good to have either ADL 200s or Wright Streetlites as both are excellent buses.
