TDC website today still shows old 60 and 585 timetables (dated 23 April 2017). Is it possible these changes are not going to happen?

The timetable on Traveline indicates that the 60 is losing its Sunday service...

585 timetables now also on Traveline.

4902 (Pershore Rd) - 60

Due to someone removing most of the information from the Diamond Bus spreadsheet, I have decided to lock all of my spreadsheets. If you see an error with the spreadsheet, please now click comment suggested changes below.

All of the spreadsheets are all together in one place to make them easier to find and easier to monitor.

I hope the spreadsheets continue to be helpful. I may in the future create more spreadsheets to cover the rest of the West Midlands operators.

I have just noticed that some absolute idiot has decided to delete most of the data on my spreadsheet. I am not happy about this and from now on, all of my spreadsheets will be only able to be viewed.

It is truly a disgrace that someone would do this.

A new link will be available once I have attempted to recover the information lost.

4205 has moved / gone

X18/X17 changes-

X18 will now run direct from Warwick to Stratford via the existing X17 route up the A46.
X17 will now run from Warwick to Stratford via JLR, Wellesbourne and Tiddington (same route as the X18)

Both services will keep their every half hour frequency and will create a new, fast link between Stratford and Coventry.

When is this happening @bensweeney14 , I can't see it on the website...

Service 1 & 2 are extending to Weddington & two new housing estates from September.

I suspect NX will lose revenue with them...

Why would this be? The information being provided from them will be more reliable.

YW don't have any Platniums. 6704 is at AG.

Oops! (Corrected)

AG Platinums have had name changes. 6704 is called Cleo Jade. Meanwhile BC 46** have also have names stuck on. 4628 (which is still red & white) is one that has gained a name.

4400 has returned to the garage with a fresh coat of paint.

Another cracking report Adam. Cant wait for the next edition!

Enjoyed reading the latest issue - particularly liked the 900/X1 feature as i'm a bit of a collector/hoarder of timetables myself! Keep up the good work. ;D

Thanks, its great to read comments like this. It makes writing the magazine worthwhile :)

It appears that there is a typo here on the date on the webpage as Sunday is the 17th of September.

That's better @BusFan94 !  Actually readable.

OK, so Stagecoach Warwickshire doesn't use rollers.  What about those new ex-London buses that deCourcey had delivered recently?

No, they are converted to LED. To my knowledge, there are NO ALX 400's or younger vehicles that have roll blinds outside of London & Edinburgh (Lothian) & a few Solos.

quick question: are e-daysavers transferrable if I won't be using it for the day?

Does the card have your picture on? @clayderman
If yes picture  - No
If no picture - Yes
