Diamond Bus - Discussion

[Nathan4775]

Two 56's this morning 1 Centro full to the brim with 3 standing and 1 dart also full with 1 standee  :D, must say the 56 peaks do very well for themselves, the dart decided to use the Expressway to make up time  ;D, the driver of the Centro looked surprised  ;D ;D

Fantastic! Just what I want to hear! Is the 56 timetabled before or after the 936 as wasnt it like 5 minutes after at one point? Hopefully they have put it in front of the 936....

Still 'timetabled down' to run behind the 936, but usually overtakes the 936 before getting to Perry Barr.

It was a full dart KU52 RYN.

There are only 3 solos at Kidderminster now, so the chances are slim!

30822 and 30828 on 002 today, no sign of 30808.

Also, 30437 is out on the 40 today with no working LED display, instead has a piece of paper with "40" scrawled onto it in the windscreen

seen sn05flr on the 50 yesterday with "any 2 journeys for £2" on the blind.....hopefully this is diamond fighting back on the 50!!

I'm so confused about this as a concept. When a return is £2.50 and 2 journeys for £2 who will be buying the returns? And yes I hope diamond will fight back on the 50 though vinyls and branding are what is needed and ensuring that drivers do not simply sit behind...

It was working when I saw it at 1047hrs

30808 on 42's today

30808 on 42's today

That is a strange working surely it would be better to have put this on the 002 or the 4 and then a cadet or a dart on the 42...

Possibly been reported before but the buses on the 99 in an evening which was thankfully running perfectly to time yesterday night come off the 54. Speaking to people who used the bus under VIP and now under diamond, diamond are running it better though what is apparently annoying is having to sit there while the driver waits as the timetable is clearly too slow for an evening when there is far less traffic....

Diamond are withdrawing the 119 completely from the 26th Jan 2014

Sad to see that route go, wonder if anyone will take over it.

Would have thought there is some money in it as a nice short route run at a high frequency. It has just been badly run over the past few years and gradually become unviable...
