Pretty much yes. Something called sampling. When the four diamond 4Hs are running with pinpoint accuracy then I presume the rest of them are also running on time.

You're talking rubbish. diamond haven't got wings. How do you know what time each bus was due? How do you know it wasn't the one in front running on the next one's time

Oldbury is the only option for residents of Hasbury these days, as all the buses now go there...

Please just take my word for it. You go to west brom or blackheath and check the departures of 4H please. Oh wait you can't tell your just presuming diamond are Late. Diamond have different time tabling??

True that @Winston went on a crimson b7rle today and there quite good.

Diamond have 2 extra minutes in their timetable. I know they're not on time, because they are not overtaking the NXWM buses which are being delayed

How do you know there not overtaking NX?

[Tony]

How do you know there not overtaking NX?

For every Diamond to be on time this afternoon every NXWM bus would have had to be overtaken by two Diamond ones, every Diamond bus would have had to overtake two NXWM buses just between Oldbury and Halesowen. Ask one of our drivers if he was overtaken - No was the answer

This is the situation at 17:00

Due the ongoing roadworks and temporary lights on Muntz Street causing congestion around Green Lane and Small Heath, the following delays are occuring;
Service 8A - up to 45 minutes
Service 8C - up to 50 minutes
Service 17 - up to 60 minutes
Service 58,59,60 - up to 30 minutes
Due to roadworks on Newbury Lane reducing it down to one lane towards Wolverhampton, the following delays are occuring;
Service 126 - up to 35 minutes
Due to a sink hole appearing on Bristol Road at Selly Oak reducing it by one lane, there is heavy congestion in the area. We are experiencing the following delays;
Service X61,63 - up to 45 minutes
Due to congestion across the network, we are experiencing the following delays;
Service 45,47 - up to 45 minutes
Service 27 - up to 40 minutes
Service 35 - up to 40 minutes
Service 50 - up to 30 minutes
Service X3,X4,X5 - up to 25 minutes
Service 11A,11C - up to 30 minutes
Service 11,13 - up to 25 minutes (Walsall)
Service 4,4H,4M - up to 35 minutes (Walsall)
Service 42,43,44,47,47A - up to 30 minutes (West Bromwich)
Service 120,140,127,128,129 - up to 35 minutes

Perhaps you can explain how Diamond would possibly avoid the congestion causing the delays

I can't explain it-  NX carry more people between blackheath and Walsall. Bunching would mean lots of passengers get on one bus.

How late was 1771?

You don't know? so how do you know which other Diamond & NX are not on time?

[Trident 4194]

Well I presumed 1771 was 4-5 mins late which is not bad- if case diamond could easily stay on time

[BusFan94]

@Tony it is pointless arguing  with him he will keep being Adamant that Diamond are on time when I agree with you Tony you work for NXWM after all unless @Trident 4194 you work for Diamond how do you know that every single Diamond service is  on time unless of course they are  doing illegal things. While on the 4H 4M

Back on Topic do you know @Tony  if sometimes buses on the 34/37/39  Swap  with buses on  the 4H/4M because sometimes E200's have been found on the 34/37/39 and also does say for example 1894 work a 34/37/39 and then work a 4H or 4M journey or does it go onto to the 11 and 13.

They just don't understand how to change buses to get to Dudley market.
