I have contacted the depot and asked them to resolve

Good evening, Simon.

https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/avl/dataset/7871/

At the time of this post, it states it is inactive, validation terminated.

It was last automatically updated on September 6 @ 21:36.

Thanks,

Andy.

Hi Simon

I've attached a screenshot is what is showing on the BODS Location Data for Diamond Bus West Midlands on the bus open data site

(https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/avl/dataset/7871/)

The bus tracker on the Diamond website is working, so it could be the feed is not being accepted by the BODS portal, or has took itself offline there maybe? (To be fair, the Bus Open Data AVL feeds are quite useful I've found, especially with how websites like bustimes and LVF have used them)

I believe this is now working

30411 is in Bradford Place area at time of posting,  according to Bustimes.org.

Edit - Mind you,  I only saw Nx 31 / 32's tracking at the same time, and there's normally at least one Diamond at that time !

20868 has only a small section of its front destination display working.

[Steveminor]

Thanks 

Kidderminster engineering will check the vehicle

20887 is displaying on the destination display Diamond Bus rather than 94 every single day.
32307 is displaying on the internal screen that it is 22:50 on the 26th March aslo says its working route 0 Chelmsley Wood via Ward End rather than 94.
Also Diamond 94 seems to be running in 2's and 3's today.

Hi,

I see that Midland Classic/Diamond have won the contract for the 70/V3 from Derby to Barrow on Trent. The DCC website says the timetable is staying the same but the one on the Midland Classic website does not show the existing 1630 V3 from Derby to Willington. Is this correct?

Also of note is that a timetable case in Hatton (Railway Station) shows the departures for Uttoxeter on the Burton side of the road.

Thanks

I have just checked our contract.  I am not sure what was operated previously but I can confirm that our timetable does not include the 1630 V3 journey.

H Simon,

Are the newly acquired Streetlites for Preston all going to get repainted at Bolton before entering service or are they getting done elsewhere due to the amount to get through?

Any update when they'll arrive at Preston?

Cheers
