Do you know if it was delivered in their new livery or will that be done by Diamond themselves?

It has been delivered in two tone blue base livery only.

Has the Diamond 12 service that operates between Cradley Heath and Blackheath been officially withdrawn, I know notices on buses were saying that Diamond were no longer operating the service, but can't find a replacement operator and the timetable has vanished from the Network West Milands website.

According to the NWM upcoming changes page it says service withdrawn due to very low passenger numbers.
