Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[winston]

There are no MANs at Redditch apart from 30303 but the rest are DAFs personally I hope they are the DAFs Kidderminster have got enough shit MANs as it is

I think you'll find there are 3 x MAN's left at RH 30303 & 30802/3.

I believe KR is set have all Diamond MAN's eventually, so you better get used to them, as there are going to be with you for a good while

Two inspectors checking tickets on the 3 this evening. They might have at least smiled and took their hands out of their pockets....

No, one I have seen driving before.

As far as I know Oxford Street is only being closed up to the junction mini roundabout with New Rd/ Marlborough St. The bit past Dunelm up to the ring road should still be open. So buses should go from the bus station, along Corporation street then left onto New Road, right onto Oxford Street and regain normal route. On that basis all inbound routes should be unaffected. All guess work based on the planned works but we will see.

Looks like Bull Ring will become a no go area for a few months whilst it becomes rammed with taxis!

Judging by how long Vicar St and High St have taken Exchange St could be closed for some time......

I Thought the same as you  for the route out of Kidderminster , but from link I am putting on from diamond site it seams as if they will go down new road towards
the depot and  then back along the ring road apart from ones that go along stourport road  http://www.diamondbuses.com/serviceDisruptions.html

A mate of mine drove past Kiddy garage earlier he told me that from what he could see 30202 & 30203 (V463 TVV & V464 TVV) are now pulled around the side with the other dead buses I knew they would be withdrawn as they aren't DDA compliant Kidderminster garage is now near enough full with dead buses Diamond are going to have to move all those dead buses eventually and store them elsewhere it is ridiculous
