Diamond Bus - Discussion

[V89MOA]

Driver talk would suggest S2/S3 are gains for Silverline

They are advertising for extra drivers now, even mentioning 'new buses', will be interesting to see how the Solihull network looks by Easter.

Very goof of diamond to offer part refunds for those with monthly passes for their services, and advising the last date they should purchase them. Great customer focus there

Well I don't think it would have been very good if they didn't do that, considering these passes will be useless to passenger after the date of withdrawl - e.g. if someone had paid for a term pass lasting till April.
I'm sure I've seen other operators elcewhere, offer refunds in the past as well.

So does this mean 'Spot The Signature' on other routes, as presumbly they wont be repainted straightaway?

That would actually make sense aswell signature VS platinum

That may be the case in the short term but judging by the website...

'Diamond Signature' will be withdrawn and our services that are continuing in the area will be operated as Diamond Buses.

Maybe, it could be that the signature vehicles are leaving the fleet altogether?

I would of thought the signature buses would of been painted  into the new livery  & used on Redditch services

posted on another forum  new  buses  for Kidderminster and Redditch minibuses quote for Redditch  and for Kidderminster buses are for 125 ?  I do not  know if it is right as people who posted  said  a driver  told them   .  which I have tried to tell the person from Kidderminster before not to take everything drivers tell  them as correct.

Redditch are due 3 x Mellor Strata's & I believe 4 × 9.6m Streetlites, not sure on Kidderminster. Highly unlikely mininuses will go on the 125. More likely a WCC tendered route.
