Due to the ending of roadworks on the route, Diamond service 229 will resume its previous timetable from 11th November. Service 229A & 230 will be withdrawn.

40832 is not a fun bus to ride on let's say that, becoming less of a fan of diamonds street decks recently but I do appreciate the charging on board.

One of the brand new ilesbus sprinters are at euro bus expo, from what I was told we will have it straight after the show on Thursday.

Antisocial behaviour, kids throwing stuff deliberately at the buses windows on William harper road. Driver says it's always the same kids doing it. YJ59 PKE hit by something nearly broke the window

Must admit I was having a brief chat with one of the drivers the other day on the 326, who also do the 57, and they showed me some pics of the Solo they were driving with a couple of windows smashed!

For anyone wondering 40818 has now transferred to redditch and 40725 has been transferred to tividale, there is a reason behind it which you will find out.
