Southern Counties-loaned Sprinter 1008 (I think) on the Tesco Shuttle today, covering for a decker with a smashed windscreen. There's a second one at the depot, both later to be used on the Perton shuttle from later this month.

3754 has returned from Shrewsbury; seen on route 3 this morning.

It's currently working the 12 Stafford - Doxey (a Cannock route)

Is that a Cannock route? I always thought it was run by buses comin off the 5

Telford do doxeys on the evening

PointerDart · July 06, 2018, 08:57:28 PM

@Busman Jamie Actually 12s don't have any evening services now, so it is back to Cannock/Stafford, unless there's an odd working by Telford.

@Bob I think you're thinking of the 6 - Telford operate the 6 off the back of the 5 when it gets to Stafford.

@Hector I wouldn't be surprised if it's already moved - I haven't seen it for a few days tbh.

Mercedes Sprinter 1006 on number 3 service today. Dread to think how that will cope during the school run, while a SB200 is operating the 15.

A third Sprinter has turned up in Telford, although not doing a service run (I'm assuming type training because it seemed to have a few drivers on it and it was saying "Not in Service"); fleet number 1008 (BF67 WGC). So now Telford have 1005, 1006, and 1008. Great :/

The 11 (Telford - Lawley) is trialling one of the Sprinters over the summer in place of regular branded bus 2146. Could be a long-term thing if the bus is well received.

Busman Jamie · July 31, 2018, 04:10:13 PM

E200 2148 is currently on 5/6, in Stafford just now

Bet that was fun. Dread the day I have to ride on one of them for the whole route. ::)

Not what it used to be tbh; loadings have declined again - have had times from Stafford to Donnington and it's practically empty.

Even still - an Enviro200 on a long-distance route; I hate them on regular routes as it is.

Strange isnt it. I couldnt believe they got rid of wolves to telford route that theyd run forever!
