Not to appeal would mean the management accepting that something is wrong. Diamond is brilliant, as is its management...….. ;) Thanks Noggin for all your recent (intelligent) comments and observations -- it's of great value to me when people like yourself contribute to this forum, and have "th...

Local radio say today that Diamond are to make an appeal in this case. :P , That's confirmed on today's "Route One" -- -- I think that they are "sticking their neck out, a bit !! Maybe they want to find-out just how much they can get away with ! I wonder now, if Rotala will try to se...

Another very enjoyable selection of photos, thanks Tim. I like the photo of the trio of Bristol ECW coaches from the 1960s, and although I've never been a fan of the styling or "execution" of the body styling, I guess that the build quality was, and is, very good. Recently, when I saw our ...

I'm not sure how official this is. The County Council still subsidises quite a number of services and I thought Councillor Amos was the one who was in charge of that area.

I have seen an updated design graphics for the new 35 route livery within the last week, and it was shown on a Citaro...

Thanks Adam, that settles that then

Now that service cuts are due, I'm wondering how many (if ANY) of these will actually materialise ! So far, on flickr, I haven't seen any photos of these at Thorntons (etc) - BUT, the planned service cuts might help release capital for the work to begin, if it hasn't already (?) (I think Adam may ha...

Thanks again Tim, for the info above. The original plans that I saw a few years ago, were for that narrow gap in the hedge opposite the exit of Bevere Close, to be a "bus-gate" into the new estate. In support of that, the developers also had to provide a "swept-path analysis" rep...
