That must be operated by the Arriva Citaro that people have seen on the Bristol Rd, it's a long way from any Arriva garages, especially Tamworth

You'd have though a contract between those areas may have gone to Diamond operated from Redditch depot rather than Arriva Tamworth will all the dead mileage involved

Tell me about it Winston..

It does seem odd, even a small locally based operator would make more sense then Arriva.

I expect Arriva doesn't give any positioning mileage to this contract?

If they have covered their dead mileage costs in the contract value then fair play, but you'd think someone more local or even Diamond from Redditch may have been able to undercut Arriva
