I was aware that GRS had begun to operate alongside Blue Diamond on the 600 Erdington Circle. Looking at timetables for both operators they both run an hourly service at 30 minute intervals, with an adjustement by both operators of 30 minutes presumably allowing for driver break. Great to see sensible co-operation between 2 operators.

Is the service aubsidised by both or either operator?

Other than the first week of service, I've not seen the 'other' operator on the route - & it was late & lost on those occasions too!

Needless to say, no sign of them between 10-12 today either.....

Other than in one photograph, ive yet to seen this service at all, mind you, after seeing the way they run on the 16 they make VIP look good.

I think GRS do a good job on the 16 & how long have they been operating on the 600

How long will it last before GRS put there bus 2 mins infront as co operation never works in the West Mids unless forced to like the 10 Wolves-Perton and the 4 (old 404) but saying that driving from my moms saw 2 NXWM and 1 diamond within seconds of each other according to the sandwell review buses were to be evenly spaced apart seems a bit pointless

If your on about the 4 some of diamonds and NXWM service are timetables to arrive together weekdays but the problem is buses travelling to Halesowen and MerryHill are not always going to keep to time due to the distance and traffic they face on the services but have been seperated in the evening with 15 minute intervals between the service which is fair to both companies.
