5 4Hs, a 002 and a 192 all at once in Halesowen bus station.

How many of the 4Hs were on time?

[Tony]

Shady Lane Properties is Central Connect renamed

None of them were ontime this morning, with 20002 in convoy with 3094*, then in halesowen coming back the 15:41 was 5 mins late, then the 51 past didn't turn up which was meant to be 30408, ended up catching 142 which was 5 mins late, but the driver put his foot to the gas and made up 2 mins. The 2065* can reach some pretty dangerous speeds

Hahaha I love it. Imagine the smell in the bus station!

The smell in the bus station?

So will all Diamond services now be on the main Diamond licence (PD0001374)? No more separate licence for Central Connect Long Acre.

That is the Plan. Rotala announced it some time ago that they planned to simplify their company structure

[Trident 4194]

Me and @Matt caught the 04 plate with no fleet number, I think he liked it, was very similar to walsall b7rles, unfortunately I have only caught one ever, so can't really compare

[iamwilljh92]

I can only assume the Tividale inspector was in Kidderminster this afternoon stood at a bus stop just out of the town stopping buses getting on board and checking everybody's tickets and passes I saw his car parked over the road from the bus stop a dark blue coloured 04 plate Ford Focus with Diamond logos on it and the fleet number of 'A13'

Will the evolution mcv come back, or did they sell them permanently to New Zealand? They were great buses

[the trainbasher]

@Trident 4194 they won't be coming back as they were sold and converted for nZ operational configuration

[Trident 4194]

@Trident 4194 they won't be coming back as they were sold and converted for nZ operational configuration

@trainbasher you know why they sold them?

[Tony]

Great buses as long as you were four foot tall with both legs amputated above the knee!

I would hardly call any bus where nearly every operator that bought them, sold them within 5 years to an operator on the complete opposite side of the world a great bus.

Why did they buy them to start with then? Weren't they heavy on fuel?

Some were man chassis, some darts
