Whats Diamonds Best & Worst Route ?

[Nathan4775]

I  know tere was a topic about NXWM best route & worst route, but I was wondering what is Diamonds best & worst routes (Blue Diamond & Black Diamond)

So Red Diamond doesn't count? :'( Charming! ;)

I would have to go with the 82 between Solihull and Coventry

This may be picky but i went on a signature citaro on the 82 the bus is great but the seats used on the one i was on were disapointing and a strange layout towards the back with the rear facing seats, i was expecting seating similar to the royale black diamond centro's and hybrid versa's.

Always liked the 56, espically back when the 02 Cadets were first used on the route, loved the Centro's on the route also, haven't tried the Versa Hybrids yet so cannot comment. Also enjoy a good ride on a Dart on the 123 from end to end.

Worse route would of been the 904 as most times i would use it the bus was late, didnt show at all, or in one instance just drove straight past.

The 002 is good-worst probably 904, 37 or 10/10H

Yeh, I've been waiting a couple of months for a 904, none has shown in all that time :-)

Haha ;D

The 56 is quite a nice ride some nice scenary around the Aldridge area if its a nice view your after, also the 56 is always treated to the better quality buses in the fleet i.e the centros or versa's. Ive never been on the 007 but suppose if its going to Bromesgrove i would thinks it a nice run out and guessing the 202 is similar. I dont know the worst black diamond service suppose they all have there negatives and positives and most others work around housing estates and within built up areas so all similar to each other.

Was thinking do diamond try to allocate certain services with a certain type of bus as they have certain services have started to see a mixed variety of buses. for example the 301 used to be darts 30201/2/4-7 and now often sees the versa's and a mixed bag of other diamond vehicles.

Yes, but this is a Rotala thread. Whine about NXWM somewhere else  ;)

Tony is referring to the former Blue Diamond service 904

I think Nelly knew that, that is why there is a winker (mispell) in this thread

[Nathan4775]

I think 53 Smiths Wood - Erdington is Probally 1 of the worst alingside the 97/97A - there both unreliable

Best Route would probally be 404E/56

Interesting to see how most peoples fav routes tend to be operated by Black/Red Diamond rather than Blue Diamond.

Blue Diamond are pretty useless to be honest-the Signature stuff is good but the rest is just useless competition for NXWM. Not as successful as the diamond bus company
