Diamond Bus - Discussion

[B61 ANDREW]

Going back into Midland Red days, in 1952 the 144 was every 20 minutes Monday to Fridays and Sundays, every 15 mins on Saturdays. Apart from Sundays, today's offering is not so bad. The 318 Bromsgrove to Stourbridge was every 30 minutes every day including Sundays and evenings (every 20 minutes Saturday evening). How this route has declined! Now a subsidised two-hourly affair.

When I were a lad, the 318 was also a Redditch - Bromsgrove - Stourbridge service.  Any takers for this route ??  :D

Looks as if W337VGX is set to be withdrawn after its accident...

Trouble is, that's another large Dart down at Tividale

Yes and I get the feeling that a Kidderminster-based long Dart (for e.g. 30438/439/512) will return to the Black Country unless they transfer one over from Long Acre

No long darts left at LAC.

Probably able to be covered by 30210 returning to service and 30860 transferring over if it hasn't already.

301/302 value branded 30833 on the 002. It will do the 1636 off merry hill

Last time I went on one of them series of buses the driver had to get out at every stop and kick the door to shut

Agreed, they all generally live on those routes these days. Nice buses to drive though.

I wouldn't stand there too long it's not on the road yet!

A few Diamonds missing from the 16 today, thought I'd catch one into town for a change, waited 20 mins in Hamstead letting numerous NX B7TLs go past, gave up and caught one of them instead, only diamond bus I saw was a dart by Handsworth Park, unless they're all stuck by the markets methinks somethings up

[Trident 4194]

213 was on 4H - had inspectors on nice bus, new panels applied I think, really struggles getting up hills, going at a mere 5mph(as bad as a b6) but once it was on flat road, it went very quick indeed

I think it was took off though as 432 covered the timetable that the 213 was meant to do

[Trident 4194]

30413 on 4H

Anyone know which vehicle was involved in the RTA in Walsall earlier?
