My estimate included 20200, 30202, 30203, 30516 and 30636.
Also 30512 which is listed as Tividale but is operating from Kidderminster.
Does anyone know whether 30904 is planned to return to service/Kidderminster?

Not exactly Diamond related however my mate has heard that alledgly Diamond have said to Shropshire Council that they will operate the 125 commercially without they're funding I don't know whether to believe it or not but if it is true that will certainly knacker Central Buses I know exactly why Diamond have done that it's because they are scared of Central's presence in Kidderminster

Seems unlikely hearsay but we will see.

It wouldn't actually suprise me given Diamond's response to TGB 62 in RH & Igo's 145

That may well be the one other new service Simon didn't want to reveal details not so long ago in his thread.

Typical! I always get shot in flames!!..

Diamond didn't want it no BUT because another operator has obtained it they've realised that they could make a good impact on Kidderminster which they don't want although I don't know why because I've been told that if Diamond got offered £2 million for Redditch/Kidderminster they would accept so in actual fact I don't know why they're scared of other operators coming in

I can't personally see Rotala selling RH & KR for £2 million or even wanting to sell the Worcestershire parts of Diamond full stop, Rotala are stronger in RH & KR than their WM bus operations due to controlling the majority of those markets. Rotala paid £1.5 Million to acquire the RH & KR ops from First originally.

Preventing other operators from setting up in your backyard, is all about protecting your own business, future revenues & reducing competition
