Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

[Simon Dunn]

Can you explain the 326 on TfWm 's site, being referred to as a 'new' service for Diamond?

Had you just retained the contract,  surely it should have said 'Service retained '?

TfWm cock up maybe?

We have been awarded a new contract.  The "new" contract is exactly the same as the old in terms of timetable.  So should it say new or retained?  I will leave that up to you to decide

Ok cheers so is it still serving the fox and goose shopping centre ? Cheers

Sorry - it will not serve the fox and goose shopping centre

is 40518 back on the road or is something else using the ticket machine, I'm surprised it hasn't been sent to Preston with the other 2?

The bus is back in service at Heathrow.  We have contractual commitments for the vehicle at Heathrow

Drivers on the West Brom 61 have been missing out part of the route all day. Instead of using Spon Lane, Kelvin Way, Dartmouth  Road and Halfords Lane they are running direct via High Street and Birmingham Road.

Still happening today for a third day in a row with only one of the two buses following the correct route.

Sorry for the delay.  I am sorry about this.  I am led to believe we have now corrected this

Checking bustimes.org I can see this service is now following the correct route.  Thanks for your attention in this matter.

Hi Simon, is there a shortage of vehicles at Bolton & Eccles at the moment?

Noticed that 66900 & 69157 have moved from Preston and surprisingly 66900 was spotted in service in central Manchester today! 

Checking on Bustimes, there are a lot of vehicles that haven't tracked for some time.

We are making sure we can deploy as much as the fleet as possible.  We expect to redeploy some of the Manchester fleet to the West Midlands later this year and hence the reason why more of the fleet are being used

Hi @Simon Dunn 

I read it as, "As you can use Zone B tickets on Select and Chaserider, can they be used on Midland Classic and are they part of Diamond East Midlands?"

Hope my translation is correct!

Sorry Simon my i worded my post wrong
I was asking is in the east midlands area   midland classic (diamond east midlands} it says zone b tickets 
can be used on select and chaserider  services  i was just wondering if it is just a arrangement  between operators
or are they part of midland classic (diamond east midlands)
