I agree steve lets hope  it is some local coach operator  with a good reputation   for service and clean vehicles and smart helpful friendly staff  ,

[Reece]

The Diamond purchase of Whittle's coaching division has fallen through due to Diamond being unable to get the school contracts transferred and it is understood that Whittles have now received another offer from another operator that includes their site and more vehicles etc....

Thank goodness the Diamond offer fell through otherwise we would have had dirty Whittle Coaches as well as dirty Diamond buses in the town. Let's hope who ever it is has put in a offer for all 11 Whittles Coaches and kepted the Whittle name as we'll? :)

Nope I have it on good authority that they have indeed pulled out of the deal because I am lead to believe Shropshire Council hadn't taken the news that Diamond were buying the coach side of the business with great pleasure and it is them who have scuppered the deal

Any information I post about Rotala/Diamond is from senior management. It is up to you what you personally believe, but I don't post 'canteen gossip' without saying it is canteen gossip.

The information I posted is from a staff notice to drivers issued today, so most drivers will not have seen it when you asked them

What's Shropshire Council got to do with the proposed takeover? Is that who supported the school routes that scuppered the deal?

I see, any idea why Diamond aren't very popular at Shropshire Council?

I'm guessing maybe they think Diamond would end up being unreliable or something..
