Thanks for clarifying that-I assumed it was a typo as you already got a good photo of 30413's branding a while back. Cheers for the update Nath :)

There is a diamond inspector/route manager in walsall bradford place, few weeks ago I had my ticket checked by an inspector on the 4, things looking promising!!!

I imagine checking tickets, cash totals and ensuring buses run to time and do not simply leave just after a NX and sit behind all the way to West Brom.

Was an inspector by the Markets checking on the Diamond 16 service today. Good to see it has to be said.

Noticed a Diamond Inspector watching buses go past on Birchen Coppice in Kidderminster today.
He was sternly watching the Whittle bus I was on go past and making notes!

I imagine doing passenger counts on Whittle's buses to try and see what the potential market for extra customers for diamond who are existing bus users. Seems like there are a lot of them about-either that or it is just one or two really travelling about and having a big impact.

Just noted WX58FRU on the 146 heading through Cotteridge displaying '147 St Augustine's School'. Well, almost right!

I was stood at the bus stop today and (20654, V654 HEC) pulls up anyway the driver switches the engine off and dissapears off for a cigarette anyway I noticed that there was a strange smell (not uncommon) anyway I thought nothing of this UNTIL I saw clear smoke (not much just abit every now and then) coming from the engine anyway I looks down and notice it is ****ing out RED coolant and also what I can only assume was brake fluid anyway another driver notices the puddle and asks who was driving it so the driver comes over gets his phone out and rings through to the depot anyway unfortuneatly he was about to do route number 3 so he gets back in and has to explain to the 7 or 8 people stood waiting to get on that he has got to take the bus out of service and return to depot so anyway he drives off I don't think that'll back in service this week but we'll wait and see it means once again V654 HEC will more than likely be V.O.R. once again
