Diamond Bus - Discussion

[Michael Bevan]

Wonder what the 25 service is as central buses run to bridgenorth is it that busy

Probably to compete with the 125. I wonder what will happen with the passenger loadings? When Arriva tried to get Central off the Xpre55 with the X65, I noticed a lot of people stayed loyal to Central Buses. I wonder if the same thing will happen again.

It can be but I think Diamond is only doing this because of Central soon introducing MetroCity's to the 125. I also think Diamond might in a effort to attract passengers have the 25 as part of their Diamond Value network nothing would surprise me.

30125 is now at Redditch. Don't know how long it will be there for. Levante FN06 FLC is also on loan to Redditch.

More than likely it will stay there @Michael Bevan as it will more than likely join the other signature Versa's and will more than likely be used on the 57/58 (et al)

It's been on the 58 today I think.

Correct @Michael Bevan

I assume the S11 & S15 Signature routes have been cancelled by Diamond as a result of Centro tender changes

I've just seen (30888) KP54BYM in West Brom bus station on the 40 and I've noticed it's been de-branded looks better in my opinion those Darts never did suit 29 branding anyway

I'm a bit puzzled, are these cancellations of new registrations? Or are these new registrations of previously cancelled registrations?  :o

Having seen the picture it looks rather good actually, very smart branding.
