Diamond Bus - Discussion

[winston]

There is still a chance Wrightbus will find a buyer

I think at last count there's now 5 interested parties.

Edit:

Jeff Wright seems to causing problems for potential bidders of Wrightbus:

at 18.07 tonight, saw a Diamond 226 towards Merry Hill go down Broad Street in Kingswinford, omitting serving the town centre. Was this shortcut Authorised?

I don't frequent the forum much as I am not a bususer anymore, what i jave just witnessed is part of why

Bloody hell, last time a bus went down there was when the 264/265 was Metrobus operated with Kingswinford-Merry Hill shorts

Also notice the 28A (Ward End to Small Heath) has been cancelled by Diamond Bus.
Wander who will get it, maybe NX Bus (BY) as it would fit in with the 28 NX already operate?

They already operate the 36 which is kinda in the same area

Their 55 and 94 operate in the area as well.

Well considering that IGO went bust (plus they already had the route), There aren't many operators left. Maybe Claribels? They already operate the 36 which is kinda in the same area

108 has also been cancelled, and I believe it's been won by NX in the April tenders.

NX have also gained the 1 (Coventry) from Diamond

WhAt else is up for tender

[Busboy105]

NX are starting to pick a lot of tendered routes recently.

[winston]

WhAt else is up for tender

Nothing. Just the 4 x Diamond routes that have been withdrawn i.e. CV1, 23, 28A & 108

[Busboy105]

108 has also been cancelled, and I believe it's been won by NX in the April tenders.

Don't get that route. It follows a similar route to the old NX 115 except it's peak only and goes back to Erdington after already serving it.

Which 23? Wednesbury or the Bloxwich one?

Thanks for pointing these out. They are no longer in service. I must have missed changing the allocation
20002 withdrawn 12/18, still at Tividale
20849 withdrawn 9/16, still at Tividale
20855 went to Eccles in 9/17 and sold on in 6/18

Fleet list now corrected
