Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[Rachvince53]

The 63/64/65 with Diamond were operated with almost every type of vehicle including WF Streetlites, Solos and Solo SRs, Darts (including those acquired with Arriva's Wednesfield operations) and horrible Plaxton Primos.

The 63 64 65 never saw the primos they were used on different routes...

I beg to differ. I used the 64 regularly and they did appear on there although it was only after one of the regular Solos had broken down (again).

The 21:45, 45 to Walsall of West Bromwich left 1 min early off meaning some people may of missed the bus due to his early departure.

Even DVSA allow the 1 minute early rule due to inaccuracies in time pieces. So was it early on the driver's ticket machine?

Ah I didn't know about 1 min early I thought it was 30 seconds early this driver left the stand just as it tuned 44 mins past, even shows on bustimes as left at 44 mins past I means it's no big deal just some passengers may of missed it and the 45 is a hourly service,

Really 1 minutes that isn't that bad why would you grass a driver up for a minute 
Over a minute is understandable

A service that departs 1 minute before or 5 minutes after its scheduled departure is deemed to be "on time." 

So it was on time.

Bit shady trying to get a driver in trouble for a minute... have people got nothing better to do with there time... feel like this and the Simon Dunn Q&A are just becoming grounds to telling tails, getting drivers Into trouble and keeping Diamonds HR and union department busy 'sighs'

You need to get a life, I'm pretty sure nobody is going to turn up to catch a bus at exactly the time of departure, if they did it would then probably delay the departure, but on the positive side it would then give you something else to Moan about.

Passengers waiting for an hourly service would have been at the stop in good time to ensure they didn't miss it.

Maybe he gets a bonus point or goes to top of the class for grassing drivers up

If you're going to continue to grass on drivers, at least post it in the right thread....

Or better still do it through official channels not an enthusiast forum. The constant complaints from a few members are getting boring now, and publicly stating them is quite inappropriate
