Will anymore Tividale ran routes be branded?
Debrand the 301/2 brandeds? They look awful.

Hi Simon.

Is there any plans for Diamond to amend the #25 service following the acquisition of Central Buses, either by withdrawing the service or putting it on the opposite half hour to the 125 between Stourbridge and Kidderminster?

We have no desire to reduce the resource, and we will look at if it can be used better.  At present, we have exactly decided what this means.

[Simon Dunn]

Do you plan to repaint the ex hansons buses into fleet livery ?

Anything that is 2007 or newer then yes.

We would accept/consider offers on anything older than that.

There is no plans to do anything further at present

Is 30201 and 30211 still in service? I haven't seen 30201 out for a while now, not seen 30211 for a long time. Shame if they've been withdrawn.

30201 - At present this is VOR.  It should return to service shortly
30211 - This is out in Service.  Today it is operating on the 42/43's out of Tividale

Hi simon,

Do you plan on withdrawing older buses soon? Also will you be prepared for the solihull emissions in September I believe it is?

Many thanks

Will 20522 (57 plate Solo) be repainted at some stage or is it too old to warrant a repaint? Redditch's Black Diamond Solo which is very tatty now.

Would you ever think of working the Walsall to Dudley corridor?

On an ongoing basis, we continue to remove our older vehicles.

We will repaint.

[Westy]

You didn't answer his other question though.

[Simon Dunn]

At the present moment in time we are not considering on any new Commercial corridors

1. Do you have any plans to sell Cadet 30211, the last '02' plate Cadet in service?

2. Would you ever think of reinstating 30215?

1.  The vehicles aren't saleable.  There is no second hand market.

2.  I can't see it.

Would you consider buying IGO or is the fact it's a not for profit organisation mean you wouldn't want to take them on?
