RE: Diamond Bus North West
Have the remaining 4 14 Plate Enviro400s returned to First or are they still here? |

RE: Diamond Bus North West
Seems some Bolton Councillors will be in contact with TFGM regarding the 715 being cut back to operate Westhoughton - Bolton in the daytime. Diamond Bus are right to point out that the increase of Traffic has made the current timetable impossible and an extra Bus would be needed but funding would be needed for that. Now down to see if TFGM do fund it or not. https://www.towerfm.co.uk/news/local/bus...5cgE0jT1Zo For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

Now down to see if TFGM do fund it or not. Only plans from TfGM is proposing to extend the Local Link service to cover Dicconson Lane. Wigan-Aspull with connections to/from Bolton provided by 575. Wingates-Westhougton covered by the 521 and 574. https://democracy.greatermanchester-ca.g...rt%20A.pdf |

RE: Diamond Bus North West
Considering this is built to London Specification I can see problems already with this vehicle, as I'm not to sure what TfGM stance is at the moment on Dual Doored vehicles being used in their Bus Stations and if it is built to London Specification this will mean disabled access via the Centre Doors which I'm sure TfGM aren't too keen on. 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. |

Think PSVAR regulations would make it illegal not to use the back doors as that is where the ramp is. |
