Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[PM]

Didn't really see what was on the 4 today all I did see were b7rle's both the new ones and the ex midland classic ones the only one I haven't saw on the 4 for while is the 08 reg b7rle maybe just missing seeing it when I try to spot it. It seems as if it's the 301 where the cadets seem to be taken from with 1 or 2 mpd's and solo's appearing on there.

They need to swap some solos at tividale with full length darts and their 2 b7rles that are wasted at long acre...

Usually mainly cadets with a few MPD's and a solo from my observation on the 301 mid last week and its Mainly B7RLE's (13 plated ones) and 1 or 2 centros on a sunday.

Mainly b7rles on the 301? Not sure about that to be honest. If you mean the 4 then yes, that is, but thought everyone knew that

No i said on a Sunday they appear (Because they don't operate the sunday 4). Usually Cadets, MPD's and Solos on the 301 in the week. Read the post before you have yet again another pop at me :( You seem to have a problem against me this evening and i've done nothing wrong

The 301 on a sunday is operated by the b7rle's normally on the 4 mon-sat or the royale centro's.

Yes as i already said they usually have on the 301 on sundays majority The B7RLE's (13 plate  and the older examples) and 1-2 centros. NX 301 seems to be mainly B7RLE over Omnilink on a sunday (Certainly was last sunday)

[Ash]

Yeah and last sunday some of the 301 omnilinks (1883-1890) were on the 4/4M probably because they will have lower mileage compared to the 4 branded omnilinks which must have clocked up a fair few miles going between Walsall and Blackheath/Merry Hill/Halesowen quite often 7 days a week.

The 4H doesn't operare on sundays does it? Never see it in Halesowen on a Sunday. Well 4 branded 1858 passed me in Wednesfield earlier on the 89!

Nope it doesn't

[Ash]

No the 4H doesn't probably should have worded that better sorry, this is what I think though diamond should operate the 4H on a sunday every 30 minutes with the 4 operating every 30 minutes aswell giving a frequency of every 15 minutes between Walsall and West Bromwich. On a sunday the 404E when the mcv's were used was quite busy i remember regularly catching the 404E from Walsall at about 9:50 and by the time it reached West Bromwich it was standing room only it was rammed changing it to every 30 minutes killed the service and operating it a few minutes behind NXWM stupid idea and then when the diamond did get in front of the NXWM bus on occasion it picked up far more passengers, surely diamond must look back comparing the 4M and the 404E sunday service and think where did all the passengers go and the answer is above. The PVR needed would probably be 7 so there you go 7 b7rle's.

30437 (MPD) on 002 today.

It's either 30807 or 30808 that is missing

[Ash]

30437 is a normal size dart an mpd has 2xxxx fleet number. 30437 isnt a bad bus better than the cadets.

Oops sorry looked like an MPD to me but I was just passing on the 9 at the time. My mistake

I agree here-it was on here all day as I saw it quite a lot later in the afternoon as well
