Diamond Bus - Discussion

[Will]

Maintenance - No further action.

How much did diamond management pay for the TC to say that!

The maintenance of their buses make Hi-Ride look professional

Timeliness - Initial compliancy - 81%  Rotala then put forward reasonable excuse accounting for a further 10%.  then provided evidence of compliancy today as the Monitoring exercise was 12 months old, which was 92.69%  They also provided information about the rest of the West Midlands Market which was given from a TfWM report, which outlined this at just under 81%.

All I have to say to diamond about that is Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such as to cause epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.

Tom,

I couldn't of put it any better myself

Comments censored as not to upset Diamond, even though I am entitled to an opinion!

It seems that they will get away with blue murder

The maintenance of vehicles could be improved, but as a company there fine.

The maintenance of vehicles could be improved

And you know that better than DVSA who actually inspect them?

I'm sure Diamond could spend more or new or nearly new buses than they have done the past 4 or 5 years. There's plenty of other smaller operators that regularly invest. With the number of emissions restrictions coming in to force & others constantly being raised, they will need to buy more environmentally buses in the future.

I think you're getting carried away with the number of 00000's again.

The chap from TfWM told me that this PI only considered evidence up to the end of 2015, so no
