when will the 1\3/10 timetables  back to normal any time soon . the last two weeks  i  when i have been on a 10 people have been left at the bus station .or the first stop in oxford street. the last time it was a vehicle only able to carry 13  maybe on a thursday  you could put on one that seats 20.
any news of the change to the 4 and 7 being rerouted and combined  .i know it will proberly not for a while . that you can do  anything  about .as i know times are difficult for diamond an the rest of the public transport industry   1 thing have noticed  durning this time the 1 and 10  look as they are being interworked and it seams to be  working well  for time keeping. and with slight change to route due to road woks seams to  help time keeping also. i know you will have  a better view  on that than me.cedric

Yes it's BD20 ODS @StourportSam. I'm actually typing this whilst onboard it. I think it was meant for Rotala's Hotel Hoppa operation in London (as it does have a luggage rack too), but is spending some time at Kidderminster for now. Worth noting it also has a radio for the driver like on the Mellors too.

Diamond WM will be borrowing 5 brand new ones destined for Hotel Hoppa, due to Sept Pvr increases

today is 4 of these on various routes 20176/20177\20178\20179.also i was on 32331 in normal diamond colours. i also saw another white one  thought  it was either 20174\20175 but i think i may have been  mistaken   as they are listed as at redditch .

20174 and 75 are Streetlite WFs in the Diamond livery at Redditch. The Hotel Hoppa ones are 20176 onwards, which are the white ones.

that should read 32321  not  as above  know it is listed  as  allocated to tividale    so it may be just  on loan down here ?

20178 and 32321 were on the 192 today iirc
