a diamond 71 was either a few minutes early this evening or nearly half hour late

On the couple of occasions I've had to use a late night Diamond 71 during the last few months, it's departed Sutton Coldfield about 5 late - but then run virtually non-stop through to Walmley where I've got off it, so quite possibly it's then, more or less, back on schedule ........

If it was early, it would have been the 8:02 out of Solihull Station. I saw it near Lode Heath School at this time so would have departed early.

Where's the oak tree island exactly? I've lived in this parish for neigh on 60 years and I've never heard it be called that!

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Haha yeah, Rednal island then, but I find people get confused with Longbridge island if I call it by its real name. Actually I name quite a few places by the pubs there lol

Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...
