Well it's the drivers who press the accelerator and ignore the speed limits. So what do you think !!!
This whole thing is becoming a little bit boring !!!!!

Quote from: tombzy on April 20, 2025, 02:28:30 PMSo you are basing the entirety of diamond
Where they run into Birmingham, Kidderminster, redditch, walsall, Worcester, heathrow, burton and more based on a few routes Routes such as 17,57,88,142/A,226,226A and a few other routes within those areas
I'm just saying about when I see them on the road around Wordsley and Stourbridge area. I hardly ever go on a bus as I don't need too.

Quote from: B7RLE on April 18, 2025, 03:12:41 PMI'd love to know what's given you that opinion. According to busmiles, I've rode 51% of the Diamond West Midlands fleet, so a lot of Diamond buses, and most of my drivers have been fine. There's obviously going to be a few bad ones, but I've also rode 24% of the NXWM fleet and there's also a few bad ones there.
I'm on about how the drivers take no notice of speed limits ie doing 40mph plus in 30mph limits and the do not give way to other drivers as they just barge there way through. I spoke to one of the mechanics a couple of years ago and he said there buses were rubbish and allways breaking down. I prefer the good old days of WMPTE.

Diamond are the worst buses on the road. There drivers constantly ignore speed limits and barge there way through instead of giving way to other road users.
