I just wonder while it is here whether Diamond will actually use the back doors or whether union will state that their drivers will just the front doors only, like I've said Centre Doors seem to be a grey area in/around Manchester hence why operators that buy them usually have them converted to single door before they enter service, just look at some of the Enviro200s that MCT operate.
It's a demo on trial, nothing more.

This is out now on service 582 and the middle door is not causing any issues what so ever, its just simply out of use.

That's not what happened today at Leigh Bus Station...

Streetlite SK17HHL has been transferred to the West Midlands and now wares a striking red (WM Bus) livery for Diamond’s share of routes 31/32 in Walsall

Could you please try and be polite when asking questions?

I've heard today that all services in Wigan are to be withdrawn with the exception of the 132 Wigan - Trafford Centre and the 635 Appley Bridge - Wigan, All tenders will be returned to TfGM, and all other commercials will be cancelled from April 2020.
Not sure about local commercial services in Leigh but all TfGM contracts within Wigan Borough are to be cancelled.
With Jim Stones going and now this, there will hardly be anything left in regards to local services.

I was told about this a few weeks ago, Think the 715 eve/Sun contract is also being retained. Will free up Drivers for other work
RE: Diamond Bus North West - joe_alker - 06/02/2020 21:25
Well a lot of cancellations have appeared on VOSA consistent with that

I'm sure Stagecoach Wigan will be happy to have more work. Other than them, Hattons do the 613 and used to do the 607. Tyrers aren't a millions miles away. Good 3 potential operators there for the extra work. Tyrers of course have some expertise with the Eco Solos.

I do think that TFGM might review some of the services a little bit now to try and cut back to reduce the tendered PVR.
