No, from the hospital.  Its designed for staff and patients to go between Cannock Hospital and New Cross Hospital, hence the Hospital Trust paying for it.  It will go to Wolverhampton Bus Station however.  And no, I don't think its the best idea either but that is what the hospital trust have requested.

Bob

Will be a fast link to wolves though

Bob

Pity its not calling at the bus stn though

Ashley

Is it being run by Cannock or Wednesfield?

Bob

Wednesfield I think.  Wonder if darts will be enough or a full size is needed

The route has had a Pulsar on trial but with no success. It will be E200's.

Bob

Why couldnt the pulsar do it then? What if the e200s arent hig enough?

Pulsar was too big somewhere by New Cross.

If an E200 is too small, maybe an Sb120?

Bob

Or a decker if its busy? No problem getting round new cross on the 19

Right turn off Thorneycroft Lane into Bushbury Road tight.

Trial period initially so route can be revised if patronage dictates LWB.

Bob

Does it go to wolves from cannock before it hits the hospital?  Im thinking a nippy link between the two towns?

No, New X first. It is supposed to link the two hospitals fastest, not the town centres.
