Diamond West Midlands - Redditch

[Sandy Lane]

The 1 Coventry route is transferring to NXC from 12 April.

Just like the X30 did last year. The X30 was interesting as NXC could not run to the clock face timings just like Diamond so they thinned it out 3 months later. Should it have been re-tendered me questions?

So Diamond's in Coventry are getting less and less unless there are other plans?

As far as I'm aware they have no plans for coventry. I don't think they run any other services in Coventry. The 1 is the last Diamond service in Coventry. Also this is a re-terdered service as far as I know. The tenders for service don't always finish on the last week of April or October. It just depends on when the service was register as a terdered service to when the tender is to be renewed.

Is 40625 on the 50?

You're right. Diamond doesn't have any other services in Coventry anymore. It's pretty hard to make a new service in Coventry; all the main corridors are taken by NXC and Stagecoach. Coventry in itself isn't a attractive place; The IKEA there is shutting down in the summer.

You're both wrong, they still have the 42 operating in to Coventry:

Sirry @Winston your quite right Diamond still do have the less frequent 89 and also the 42. I forgot about thouse two services. I wonder how long they'll last though. I wouldn't be suplrised if NXC are planning to take the 42 over so that'll just leave the 89 with Diamond.

A truck went in to the side of it midway along the nearside, the impact has buckled the body structure.
