Actually diamond are not doing well according to the figures i have seen. Some 226s of Hansons make a decent profit unlike the daytime 226 of diamonds which makes a massive loss. According to several diamond 226 drivers they are coming off it anyway next month so won't be long

Always amazes me where these statements come from such as 'according to the figures I have seen' and 'make a decent profit'.  Perhaps I missed those meetings.

Diamond staff (drivers) would not know if the service is making a loss - they would know how much they have taken on their duty.  Wayfarers also don't have a profit button.  There are factors within a business that determine if a route is making a profit - staff, depot, engineering, fuel and insurance overheads.

Don't know whether they are about to withdraw Hanson 0315, but it was on the 251 today without it's destination display, instead 251 was printed on a piece of paper!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Hi Stu.

So i am being biased by saying that my 1805 226 Hansons is being followed by the  1750 226 diamond? as in right up the bumper!

Tom i was talking hansons the other week and one thing they was asked by Bus User Uk all passenger who have a problem with diamond to write in as they are making a case against diamond

Wouldn't be shocked. The route training diamond are getting on the 226 is basically to board a Hansons bus or ask Hansons drivers the route!

I can confirm that 1721, P721RYL, has left Hansons for scrapping. It is no longer in the depot after it was cannabised

With all due respect, you also confirmed there being an Enviro100 so I doubt anyone's going to take you seriously.

The boy who cried wolf springs to mind.

With all due respect I was joking about that. It seems that there is a collective sense of humour failure on here on how I was being convincing. THIS FORUM IS A BLOODY SHITHOLE

So with all respect how do we know you aren't "joking" now

Bye then, shut the door on the way out....

I understand a Prototype Alexander Dennis Enviro 100 was built (wheel forward) with a view to compete with the popular Optare Solo SR and Wright Streetlite!
Kind Regards

I finally got a photo of 1521 today, completing my set of Hansons fleet. I have now updated all pages to my latest spec with full histories on all current vehicles (Unless anyone knows anything different)

Unusual working today 2581 was on the 124 possibly as a replacement for 0387 one of the usual two regulars.
