Diamond on the other hand have routes that aren’t actually that easy to follow even if you know the area! On day 3 of the new trafford timetables yesterday there wasn’t much improvement. I passed one 18 doing a reverse round corner, and another completely off route!

One of the breadvans on the 217 today still had its ‘preston Bus’ fleetnames with ‘Ribble valley link’ route branding. If they can take delivery of a Streetdeck and get vinyls applied and out on the road in less than 24 hours why’s it so hard to remove some vinyls from a bus??
