Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

Are any of the Kidderminster buses down for repaint thanks

There will be one going in later this week, then there will be a pause on painting current vehicles while some acquisitions go through.

No I don't allocate the buses, the Traffic Office Supervisors do that.

On Friday we had an imbalance of small vehicles off the road for routine maintenance so not all services could keep their usual allocation. There are lots of reasons why allocations can vary, the main objective is to achieve a full service with the vehicles available.

The 125 was an assessment to see how those vehicles would perform. The condition of the roads on the route currently doesn't lend itself to the Metrocities very well, plus there are some overcrowding issues.

Further to some of the other comments regarding this post. I have a birds eye view of the 125 from my flat and indeed have traveled on it on Saturdays. Certainly the morning journeys on Saturdays into Kidderminster from Stourbridge can be very busy, and in fact there was standing passengers on one trip last Saturday, so it was a good bit of vehicle allocating to out a bigger vehicle on it yesterday.

Don't forget the 25 no longer operates @Will so one would presume the 125 loadings have increased since Central finished

It's obvious that a bus enthusiast knows how to operate a bus company more than some like @andy41 whom is employed and has experience of running a company.

It's really starting to annoy me as enthusiast that a small minority of this forum whom have zero experience of running a bus company are telling the professionals how to do their job!

Also, with the current spell of exceptionally nice weather, I'm assuming there will be more people heading out for the day to Bewdley & Bridgnorth than normal.

Hardly surprising considering you sound like you don't have a clue and are talking utter b****cks, basically you're "doing a Bob" and criticizing a capacity increase... Central buses hasn't traded for nearly half a year so any experience you had on the route back then is irrelevant now anyway. What kind of operator keeps things "status quo" allocations wise when the needs of their services and customers are constantly changing?! You'd rather people had an uncomfortable journey just so you can keep the metrocities on there? Grow up.

Who the f**k are you telling me to grow up! I've probably got a bit more of a clue than you f***ing well have!!!

I've probably got more of a clue than you you cocky c**t!!!

Yeah, Sounds like it, judging a decision on a job you haven't even done this year... ::) The situation is totally different now Diamond have several advantages which is bound to affect capacity, ie better day ticket coverage and no more 25 as Metrocity said but you carry on living in your bubble!
At least I have never shown driver's the wrong route 😂😂

A friend of mine has a saying and I'm going to use it - Go Get Fucked 👍🏻

Just like Simon & Rotala, you've just got yourself BANNED from ever coming back here aswell (you were warned recently after a previous outburst!), and don't bother going crying to Tony to come back (like the last time you were banned.......), Winston
