Diamond West Midlands - Tividale

[Steveminor]

Covid 19 is a serious situation & one that will see staff shortages across all businesses (except airlines). It isnt down to one company managing things better than another. This is a time when ALL operators are pulling together. Richard you must know from your position what is going on obviously things which cannot be posted. Now is not the time to start playing blame games against ANY operator.

My Apologies, I hadn't thought to check your fleet list.
However, there are some errors as looking at a picture of 32318 it is registered as BD20 OCP, not 'ODP'

[mark114]

My apologies also Tony I only replied to Willr7 post as I had to see it myself on the fleet lists and thinking it was correct so I posted it again my apologies

Ultimately they're for B'ham City Centre routes i.e. 16/16w are still to be upgraded to Euro 6.

Being in a privileged position to have seen the planning behind the sences that PLC's have been instructed to follow in the event of the contravirus moving to the next level of urgency I am not sure how explaining how PLC's were  told to prepare for the serious consequences of what was happening and what will happen can be as you have described as a rant. If the company you work for hasnt followed the correct government advise in its preparations then its failings will be all to see this is the same company that failed to run its 09.14 4H on time this morning which I was waiting for unlike a rival company why would my return be short when I am only posting the truth or do we not need to know that as for duty workings I can only comment from the position of working at a company that was once a rival to yours in the West Midlands perhaps our standards  were different to yours at the time I am very proud of my time at Midland Red West and its employees at the time under the leadership of the excellent Ken Mills perhaps the standards at your company today are somewhat different?

Richard - you must know from your involvement with the Mayor that public transport travel in the West Midlands is down by 87%. Do you actually expect commercial operators to operate a full service - there are no public transport operators in the country doing so. If they were, they'd be encouraging people to ignore the Government's instructions to the public.

I don't think we've heard any official comment from Rotala how they're dealing with it but as a smaller operator must be heavily affected.

I think you need to stop these daft rants - we are in a national crisis and it is no time to be moaning about anyone trying to provide a service in such difficult conditions. I sincerely hope you're following the coronavirus rules!!!

APOLOGIES - just realised Richard's was a post from earlier in March (before the general close down).
