I see that Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester is railroading ahead with his Bus Franchising.

I sincerely, hope that this doesn't means the end of Diamond in the Manchester area.

Why would it?

Why would it?

If they didn't win any tenders.

Did not they move into the area because they saw franchising as an opportunity.
At the time I thought it was a bad idea as whatever the posturing First and Stagecoach would stitch up the tendering, but now First is much less of a force perhaps not?

Oh, forgot that was 33012 & written off. 

33019 is only showing as VOR on the fleetlist at present, it *could* possibly re-enter service

It's not the 'North West' one. It's from Burton
