It's like Diamond actually want to keep visiting the Traffic Commissioner!

I love the way they're trying to blame the wheel-loss incident on a wrongly calibrated torque wrench. What was that about a bad workman? :lol:

On West Midlands bus forum Diamond got fined £9025 following Public Enquiry. Stated services were still being monitored and that the fine should be used on problematic 3 Kidderminstrer Areley route to give passengers some compensation. Diamond are considering an appeal. The Traffic commissioner states Diamond should be in no doubt they must improve, The commissioner did not suspend or revoke licence.

That won't discourage them. They've still got enough money floating around to take over Worcester :twisted:
