Just asking this but do diamond still do leaflets for services as i know they did for the 002/144 etc-do they still do them?
If so, where would you get them-im thinking they might do some for redditch but not sure just asking

If not, they should resurrect them and produce some sort of an area booklet for places where they operate a lot eg redditch/west brom. Then passengers would really get to see they have a network especially in redditch/west brom and buy a pass

They do a official one with all the redditch bus services in  - with timetables, route maps, and fares for ALL redditch town services

Do they?
Printed or online? If so where do you get it from?

Printed and you can get them from Plymouth Road Depot, Arden News Kingfisher Centre, Information Kiosk Worcester Square Kingfisher Centre.

Great news. The old First area guides used to be really useful as you only needed to have one leaflet at home rather than loads.

No sign of a Rotala guide one for Kidderminster yet though.

I know some councils produced booklets of timetables for their area showing the services of all operators.  Do Worcestershire still produce these or have they been scrapped following cut-backs?

MRW were famed at one time for their publicity and books like this weren't they? How much does the redditch one cost by the way?

Diamond ones are free as far as I know. FMR Redditch did print Route Timetables with a map for every route but they didnt print that many and when they were gone they were gone unless you wanted X3/3 143/142 57/58 or the 51 in which case Arden News had them. I know somethimes a bus may have them if your lucky also Long Acre will have Redditch Network Timetables complete with Map.

Unless you're lucky & it features on  a NWM timetable, I havent seen a Diamond timetable for ages.

Last ones I saw were for the old 404 & when they took over on the 301 in Walsall from A2Z in 2009.

Got one of diamonds redditch network books along with timetables for 142/143 and 247 anyone know if they do any for other key routes eg 146/X3 etc or for the kidderminster network cheers. Must say I was very impressed with the redditch guides-clear, concise, colourful very easy to use with fares, network maps, where to board the bus and colour coding. Very good indeed

I was in Kidderminster last Saturday and tucked away in the library, there was a display next to one of the self-service machines. It was very easy to miss, but had 2 Diamond leaflets available: one was for the Kidder Town services and the other was for the 303.

Agree totally with you on the high standard of presentation of these timetables.

First used to do similar books so you might find it's not really a Diamond thing, might be to do with the council
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
