Diamond West Midlands - Redditch

[tank90]

Well it should work with out any problem as Redditch is part in the WMMCA. Its just we aren't a full member.

I personally think as long as it works it will be great.

Some more details here:

The Redditch bus scheme will see Diamond - the largest bus operator in the town – put its 1 and 4 week tickets onto Swift as well as accepting Swift Pay-As-You-Go.

Also taking part will be Johnsons, who will be accepting the same on the 150 route which runs between Birmingham-Redditch-Worcester.

I boarded 20850 this afternoon at 15:15 in Acocks Green Village, on a 36 to Heartlands Hospital, the bus then drove up to Fox Hollies Road in Acocks Green, where I had to get of, because the driver apparentlly had no more fuel to carry on, another passenger waiting there trying to board was complaining because he'd apparently been waiting nearly 2 hours there for a 36.

A scruffy looking bus, with tatty handle bars partly purple where the paint has been peeling of and partly yellow.

Saw the two MX11 Streetlites driving down Alcester Road between Kings Heath & Maypole. Both NIS. It was at approximately 17:00.

This was done when it was with Your Bus. KU52 RYN is the same.

Streetlite 30162 and another 3016x were today's buses on the 146. Quite unusual that neither of the 2 Pulsars 32121/2 weren't on there

I photographed 32121 on the 146 in Redditch today

[Dylanbusboy45]

I rode 30162 on the 1740 from Birmingham and passed the other one by Cotteridge going the other way so they must have swapped 32121 then
