Fantasy Cannock network

As mentioned in  the Arriva Cannock thread, I'm having a go at a Cannock fantasy network.

This involves getting rid of Cannock depot completely(or keeping it as an outstation!), but Arriva keeps a facility at Stafford, for local services, the Cannock & Rugeley/Lichfield routes. (74 & 825 routes)

Here goes :

Walsall to Bloxwich via Leamore – Service 31/32(Let's face it NX is really going to renumber those in reality anyway!), continuing to Mossley(31) & Lower Farm (32) as before, but both services will also serve Turnberry, interworking  on route, plus Service 31E continuing from Mossley via Broad Lane to Essington(A few journeys per day!) & Service 30, serving Broad Lane instead(loop at Mossley optional!) then Landywood (current 71 route) to Cheslyn Hay, then Cannock via Walkmill Lane / Bridgtown area.

X51 will run as a full time service, linking Hednesford, Chadsmoor, Cannock, A34 Great Wryley, Bloxwich, Walsall then Birmingham.

Above replaces current 1 & 2.

Current service 3 withdrawn, replaced by extensions to 10A & 937.

Walsall to Brownhills as current 10 & 10a. 10 extended from Burntwood to Boney Hay, 10A extended from Rising Sun to Norton Canes & Heath Hayes, then to Cannock via Hawks Green.

Service 937 extended from Rising Sun to Norton Canes & Heath Hayes, then Hednesford(not sure whether to run via Cross Keys or Wimblebury?)

(Not sure how to handle Cannock to Lichfield, whether to run dead from depot or extend another service, or let Arriva keep it?)
Wolverhampton side now.

Service 58, basically as Service 59 between Wolves & Ashmore Park, but, depending whether there is some sort of link between Ashmore Park & Blackhalve Lane, extending to Essington then Landywood & Great Wryley  & Cheslyn Hay, doubling back to Walkmill Lane / Bridgtown area to Cannock.

Service 12, as Service 11 Wolves to Underhill mainly, but missing out Underhill & continuing to Cannock via Shareshill, Cheslyn Hay, Wedges Mills, Longford.

Service 54 & 55, basically as current 54 Wolves to Stafford via Coven, then one route will divert via Brewood & the other via the current route, both going to Penkridge, then 54 route goes to Stafford as now & the new 55 route will continue to Cannock, serving Shoal Hill maybe.

Other Walsall & Wolves routes operated by Wednesfield depot, straight transfer to Wolves & Walsall depots.

Let's face it, it's a start. Someone else can have a go at crossing the I's & dotting the T's re specific parts of route.

Maybe the 902 could be extended to Lichfield following the X12 route and that could interwork with a Cannock to Lichfield service.
If Wednesfield was to go and all their routes went to NX then, the 604 would probably go to PB.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Good point. Forgot about the 604.

To be honest, apart from the 31 & 32, I was trying to avoid interworking.

Maybe someone would like to try an interworking version?
