I must admit hansons are very fair with diamond vehicles. Usually it gets into halesowen about 25 past, even though not due out till 33 past. The other day it got in before the 142 which departs at 28 past, so he moved off the stand and went back around, so that the 142 could stay on time. Also if the 002 is running behind the 004, the 004 will often stop at the bottom of the hill at halesowen to let the 002 past.

Drivers are very friendly, the other weekend I had a chatty driver who was talking about where the nearest post office talking to passengers.

That's not "fair": it's the rules. They should only be on stand when their buses (004's) are meant to be there. Best incident I witnessed was a 002 driver sitting there about 2 minutes until they were due out, 004 sat beeping behind. Needless to say it wasn't due in...  ::)

The same rules which most Diamond drivers seem unable to follow/understand

Isn't it a case of drivers are allowed on stand 3/5 minutes before you're due on normal stands(not city ctr). If a late bus pulls behind, it's tough, unless the driver on stand wishes to loop around.

Note; this is an assumption, could a driver confirm?

[Steveminor]

You are correct. You are allowed to be on stand for 5 mins unless the previous departure is already there in which case you must wait until he has departed.
In city centre it is 3 mins.

Not always true. On some City Centre stands you are allowed up to 10 minutes

[Steveminor]

That's as long as there are no other departures within the time slot

Which is why I put some. Also some city centre stops including the one at the back of Selfridges are bus stops, not bus stands so you should only stop for as long as it takes to unload or load passengers which is why BCC/Centro got upset with Green Bus taking their breaks there

[Steveminor]

& some are double stands which means 2 buses can be timed to depart at the same time.
With TGB situation I wonder how long it would have been before any action was taken against them had they not pulled off

I wonder if them pulling off was Centro's action @Steveminor as they appeared to come off very suddenly without 56 days' notice.

56 days notice was given, most people on here are clearly not observant enough to notice the obvious!

Lol they came off bit by bit lol-I went out near the end and there were 2/3 buses on there :P What a way to run a bus service... Then the re-starting for a day or so! Couldn't make it up!
