The timetable is being adjusted on 28A. Believe it is just afternoon journeys as they are unreliable due to congestion @2206

This isn't having a go at Diamond, but it shows figures can be used to prove anything and it is actually a non-story.
"Diamond is the Fastest growing company in Sandwell by 43%" Diamond hasn't grown by anywhere near 43% what it has done is move all it's employees out of Birmingham into Sandwell, so the number of employees based within the Borough of Sandwell has risen 43%, but as for Birmingham the number has dropped by 100% so there is a net loss of 57%! (me just proving you can do anything with figures - I know Diamond's staff numbers haven't actually dropped by 57%)

The 'true' actual Diamond growth came from April where Diamond commenced all the TfWM tenders won and absorbed the remaining bit of Arriva Wednesfield's opp's

And I guess the Hansons acquisition now provides further growth!

At no point did we enter a competition for this award.  We were told we were the winner, and at that point highlighted some of the points you have mentioned above. 

That being said the staff numbers outside any change are up year on year by around 25% for the period in question.  This period does not cover the period from April 2017.
