Diamond Bus North West

RE: Diamond Bus North West
I tried to ride the 13.25 278 from Albert Square today. The bus stop indicated it due at 13.31, but it never turned up. Thankfully the next bus arrived a few minutes early, offering some reassurance.

That's twice in 2 occasions that I have wanted to use a Diamond bus which has not turned up. Last October the first afternoon 293 was so late that they cancelled it and subsumed it into the next journey. As it then experienced some delays, I commiserate passengers who had a log wait.

I had considered using route 27 too. While this ought not to have cancellations being a TfGM tender, I would not have felt like finding out. As it is, its TfGM Versas replicate others in the area.

Only local users can say whether the service has declined since Rotala took over South Lancs Travel and Go Goodwins.
