Diamond have Won the Evening and Sunday 243 leading me to think the 244/276 will interwork on Sundays

Am surprised that the 22 hasn't been withdrawn, everytime i see it i never see anyone on it
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Its a very long winded route, it does get used at the Wolverhampton end but that can be variable from day to day or even week to week but I cant vouch for the other end. Having Diamond on the 243 will be something different though

I believe its had a change of route this time,no longer serving Russells Hall Hospital but now going to Oldbury.Personally think Centro should have cut this one  and the 240 which due to low passenger numbers went out on a twelve month contract last year but this time for two years(?)quote]

They ran it before NX on the evening the general rule was do a trip miss a trip.

Whatever the Diamond fleet consisted of at the time so im guessing Darts or Merits were used then and may be used this time unless they use Royale Centros which will get a few of those "this is a posh buzz ay it" comments :D
