Diamond Bus - Discussion

[Tony]

A picture of 30938 branded for the 25, and no I haven't got the ability to post it here before you ask....

A Diamond Manager has posted it on his facebook page, I don't pinch other peoples photos without permission, so wil not be copy and pasting it

[Ash]

There is a sneak peak of the branding on the diamond facebook page.

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

@Stu the only thing I can think of is going from commercial to subsidised, but I didn't think that would require a new registration.

Also interesting that the 82 changes has been put back till September, however on NWM site there's still a new timetable for next week and a different on me for September!

That says it will only operate between Castle Bromwich and Solihull College. Will Sutton - Castle Bromwich no longer have an evening service? Plus will Diamond still operate the Sunday Daytime journeys?

A bit off topic but does anyone know if the ludlows scanias( the newer ones) are still in service and if so where?

They were branded for the Durham to Sunderland route (Prince Bishops) with Go North East but that has just had new buses so may not be on there anymore. I did one of these from Houghton-le-Spring to Sunderland a couple of years back.

A few also made their way to Arriva Derby, YN55 RCF (3578) & YN04 AHA (3580), I think
