Stephen,

 

Thank you for this update.

 

Can you say please whether City Tours Belfast is the Diamond Leisure Transport Ltd company renamed, or is it still Diamond but using City Tours Belfast as a fleet name?

 

Thanks and please keep us advised if there are any more changes to these fleets.

 

David
