Diamond have won it back (they used to have it prior to Igo), I see.
Does anyone know if this is to be operated from Tividale, or if Redditch will get it?

There was a Midland Classic Gemini on Park Street in Birmingham City Centre at about 16:00.
Does anyone know what it was doing?

[Busman Jamie]

Could it be on the John Lewis?

It was out of service and the JL1 doesn't go to Park Street.
16:00 seems a bit early to be going to start the 17:25 (If the timetable on Traveline WM is correct from Holloway Circus as well if it was going to start the JL1 from Holloway Circus?

About 5 times in the past few weeks I've noticed a Midland Classic bus on the A435 around Becketts Farm & Maypole heading towards Birmingham between 7.30am and 8am.

This morning it was a Gemini. Probably the same one.

Presumably on its way back from the morning contract run to Redditch iForce logistics centre (which has a contract for John Lewis order fulfilment, hence the references to that department store) - timetable here http://www.travelinemidlands.co.uk/wmtis/XSLT_TTB_REQUEST?language=en&command=direct&net=cen&line=55JL1&sup=%20&itdLPxx_direction=H&project=y11&outputFormat=0&itdLPxx_displayHeader=false&itdLPxx_sessionID=EFA03_32604598&lineVer=1&itdLPxx_spTr=1&itdLPxx_operatorCodeForTTB=MDC

Is 41 (R2 NEG) still used in service? If so, is there a particular service it stays on?

The last I heard was that it was out of service with issues or something along those lines.
