This will be good for everyone

As most of the midland routes dont connect with other Arriva routes all that much wouldnt most people boarding a midland bus buy an N bus though?

There is a lot of cannock routes that could benefit from accepting arriva passes

Wonder if the exiting deckers will be kept (the red tridents).

Will benefit now if you want to go to lichfield from Walsall too connections there to a lot of other places its a positive start regardless of the buses they are getting a possible platform for a west mids version of a arriva pass and could be cheaper too a way of getting regular revenue and attacking the NX travelcard and then NXWM may have something to think about.  This has been the failing of most companies such as go ahead when they tried.

None of the midland drivers know anything about this starting tomorrow I personally think it will be a couple of weeks away still

Would be brillient if they did. Arriva's presence is ever increasing and I think the certainly need to introduce a range of new new west mid based tickets

Does anyone else think that Hill Top/West bromwich will eventually be closed with buses and operations transferred to Wednesfield garage.
At the moment,is Wednesfield a free-standing garage or an outstation of Cannock?

Westy

Isnt Hill Top a shorter lease than Wednesfield?

Hill top has a 12 month lease Wednesfield at least 5 years so to answer 2 questions possibly merger into one garage information from my friend who was at the meeting when takeover annouced.  I know Hill top is an outstation of Tamworth as thats where the buses go to be maintained, not sure of Wednesfield to be honest would be better as a full depot than under Cannocks wing.

would definitely agree, lots of out stations are a bad idea. it was a sad day for example bridgnorth switched from being a shrewsbury outstation to telford.
hope rather than combining the 2 depots (hill too, wednesfield) that they try some commercial routes and fill them both with more buses!
