If Diamond had kept the 2013 Eclipses, it would have provided a capacity improvement or allowed them to send back First buses early depending on how Diamond are coping at the moment around all areas (as bearing in mind Hallmark has the Oxford 250 starting in a week and a half).

Ther probably returned them before paying for them. In fact First are not daft they probably had a clause in the agreement that stated buses sent back early or late will encure additional costs.

Nevertheless less they have left themselves in a mess and I wonder whether they wish they hadn’t taken on the MCT work. I can’t see them retaining much of it in August.
