KR dart displaying x18 to Stratford in Stourbridge bus station today

Diamond wifi is so much better than nx wifi. Any reasons for this?

Its more than likely, that it would have actually been displaying X19 (A few tendered trips between Stratford and Redditch that Diamond Redditch operate, at other times the route is operated by Stagecoach.)

The X18 operates between Coventry and Evesham via Leamington, Warwick and Stratford and its only operated by Stagecoach.

I went to Long Acre back in the Central Connect days and I was tinkering around with the minuted on one of those NC double deckers they used to have. This it was R/S reg, and that had the 65 Perry Common destinations in it to my surprise. It may well have been the X18 is what I'm saying.

How so? Only issue I've had with NX WiFi is it sometimes decides I've reached a "limit" when I'd only just got on the bus

It seems unresponsive, and often tells me I have lost connection

Looks like another operater may have potentially won the WCC tendered routes from Diamond, it's most if not all of Droitwich network.

maybe  Woosh  they  ran most of them before, think whittles ran the 133

I saw mention somewhere that Diamond were planning new services in Droitwich. Whether that is true - and these cancellations are part of that - we will see.

Two different routes, same operator, two different depots, two different prices!

And yet the one that is cheaper is a slightly longer route which drops me closer to home!

And yet the tendered service I boarded (because Kidderminster don't do a full loop on one of their services after 1628 ex merry hill) I got charged more!

£1.50 on the Kidderminster allocated route
£1.90 on the Tividale allocated service!

First time since diamonds takeover an e300 on the 287

[Cedric]

Was talking about the ex Hansons routes at the weekend, and wondered what people think about Diamond running the 318?

Anyone reckon there's any mileage in the idea of them replacing the 318 with an extension to the 43 through from Redditch? Bring back the old Redditch - Stourbridge route?

Also now that Diamond run a considerable number of services around the Bromsgrove area, anyone agree they'd be best placed to attempt something with the Halesowen route (147)?
