The 11 is getting wifi next month (just not the Outer Circle)

Coventry 11? Will it be a month till the enviro 400's start on the 11. Seems to be taking a long time.

You need an NHS staff badge to go on it.

Just found this shuttle bus service to the Q.E avaible to staff, patients and visitors .
You do not need a NHS staff pass, just been told this shuttle service is run by Zara Travel.

Have you ever considered any of the following.
1) Extend the 192 to Birmingham City Centre to provide new links from Kidderminster.
2) Compete with NXWM and Social Travel on the 11, or try the 55/94
3) Compete with NXWM on the 45/47 in adition to your 146
4) With NXWM soon upgrading the 934/5/6 do Diamond have any plan to upgrade the 56
5) Would diamond ever consider providing new buses on the 16 the. Crimson E400s witch NXWM youse look brilliant in comparison to your Optare solos

The registration was due to finish half way through August.  However the tc has banned them from stage carriage work as of 1st August.  So that's when the service must be withdrawn no matter what anyone else says to the contrary.
I would disagree that the 2 x regs are worth buying  the chassis are not in a good state at all. If anything the 2 t reg Marshall are a more viable option.  We ain't gonna buy em though we've moved on to better things

Do you think the other one up for sale P202 OLX would be worth buying. How likely do you think it is they will sell any of the 5.

When did you withdraw the 11 the to clear the date up as the Centro website says it will be withdrawn from 26/08/15 and the trainbasher on this forum says it was end of July?

When did he withdraw the 11? @MW did not withdraw the 11 I believe he is a driver on the 11 who works for National Express West Midlands Acocks Green

GRS were supposed to finish on the 13/07/15 wich was on vosa but GRS carried on operating the service to the 31/07/2015. GRS have already put there darts up for sale and have offered them to Sunny Travel who chose not to buy any the only 2 worth buying are X604 OKH and X604 OKH witch for these he wants more than he got them, the others are not even worth there scrap value, if you don't believe me stand in Acocks Green, Erdington, or at the Fox and Goose there will be no sign of GRS only Social Travel and NXWM who currently operate the service why should people on here not comment if they find what is currently going on of interest to them I live on the route and use the service and the last time I saw them was the 30/07/15 though the timetable for GRS is still up on the bus stops. @KarlX96 .

It's made absolutely no difference

Would you ever consider running in the other direction and operate the 11A.

Apart from saying he's is restricted to 'one service' when that should be 'one vehicle' what is inaccurate?

The only other thing I could find is he continues to operate the 11A/C and he has previously operated services in Wednesbury and where the company is based.

Are Social Travel doing better on the 11 now GRS have gone.

Anyone notice the total bullcrap in today's online Express and Star about GRS. Talk about inaccurate!

That says he can not run more than. 1 route, should say 1 bus and he has to run Private Hires till August 2017.

its true to say that most hanover displays dont have not in service programed into them . lots of drivers use the other obscure blinds like happy birthday, congratulations and merry christmas. they seem to be getting round to re-programming them now ,

But 321 obviously has Not in service programmed into the Hanover display so that is not why 321 was displaying Merry Christmas.

Any idea how long it will be till 2201 reenters service.

@2206 that is not Tony's photo, it is clearly different

No comment  >:(

I do not think the Omnilink's would of coped. I use the 94 as it is my local route and the Geminis are not that bad as for Claribels they always seem to be running round empty on the 94, or they are carrying a low number of passenger at least you can get a enviro 400 on weekday evenings now.
