Diamond Bus - Discussion

[Trident 4609]

Yes Nathan all Royale Centros for repaint. Shame they probably won't retrim the seats. Mind you it will be the first time the rear ends will have been washed for a long while i reckon

The same could be said for most of their passengers.

If only I wasn't tired now I would have found that funny ;) Sorry for having a moan ;) Reading it now has cheered me up :) Thanks Matt ;)

30828 and 20205 in service in Redditch today, 30828 seems to be floating between Redditch and Kidderminster

Could it be the Evesham roadworks diversion coming off?

It could be, it does look as though the bridge may be re-opened from 31st March underneath the timetable

[Trident 4609]

Diamond buses to re introduce an every 15 minute service on route 4 west brom walsall on a sunday
Introduce 30 min frequency on 002 on a sunday
There will be a new x31 serivce in coventry off peak m-f
And the 56 will be non stop between perry barr and city

All I say is wow n good luck

Good to hear the 4/002 will have a Sunday service :) I wonder if they will use branded Cento's on Sunday 002's

With a subsidy of £8.24 per passenger............

[Ashley]

Why would they not use branded Centros on the 002 on a sunday?

Why would they not use branded Centros on the 002 on a sunday?

I was going to say passenger numbers but I thought about that thought again in a split second and MPD's on a Sunday would be a big mistake.

[Ashley]

How could any of us know if MPD's would be a big mistake? We don't know how many people have contacted and suggested it to Diamond or if it was something they just came up with. Naturally until it was known sunday services were to become available, patronage wouldn't be plentiful but that would probably increase in time
