Birmingham Coach Company / Diamond Bus / Go West Midlands, Tividale (Updated 12th June 2008)

2nd June 2006

With a wide network of services across Birmingham and the Black Country, this operator was once renowned for its large fleet of Leyland Nationals. In 2005 it sold out to the Go-Ahead group and, along with the former Pete's Tavel fleet (see separate collection below), was re-branded under the fleet name 'Diamond' ('Diamond Bus' had been used by Birmingham Coach Co. as a trading style for some time during its independecy). In March 2008 the ailing company changed hands again, passing to Rotala-owned Central Connect.
