Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[PM]

There was an old Red/White Dart on the 56 yesterday in the daytime (saw it just after noon on Kingstanding Road)

30426

X183 BNH 20183 on there today - white with a blue stripe along the bottom. Rather full leaving Birmingham at half past 5!

That isnt an unusal working as mpds of other services go onto the 56 to support in the peaks

Didn't know that. Don't recall seeing one before.

It would help if Amey admitted the timings on the Wellhead Lane traffic lights were badly timed in the morning peak (far too much time on the right turn filter into Wellhead Lane and not enough towards City down Aldridge Road), perhaps then Diamond could run the morning 56 with one less bus and NX could actually run a respectable service on there services that come in that way!

Currently sat on 30408 on the 202, sounds absolutely horrific

Also, 30206 is on the 002

I can't see it reported in the thread but looking through flickr a photo from September 2013 shows 30941 on the 142! Parked up at Halesowen Bus Station

Dennis Trident 40618 (V886HBY) seen running through Bloxwich towards Pelsall last three mornings around 7.30. Anyone know why? Not on current stocklist,is it still owned by Diamond?

No, it was sold by Diamond to Ensign who has since sold V886HBY & V882HBY to Coastal Liner, see fleet changes at bottom of home page

I saw this this morning myself, except I saw it around 0745 at Pelsall Cenotaph heading towards The Fingerpost. The front destination had 'Welcome Aboard' and it stopped at the bus stop, however I couldn't see who boarded it.

The vehicle was in First livery, but you could clearly see where the Diamond logos had been.
