Hi Simon any chance for more deckers at cannock when services pick up?

Maybe.  Depends on loadings and service levels.  Nothing planned at the moment.

New timetables on many routes from 1st June.  On the website now.

The app is due an update but I don't know when.

Nothing planned on buses for Hinckley.

Hi,

Whilst I am enjoying all the speculation about the various fleet moves and service changes, it feels appropriate to say that my only focus at the moment is to enable social distancing with the new advisory capacities (20 on a DD, 11 on a SD) that are now in place.  There is nothing else behind the moves between depots.

This might mean, if there is another increase in service levels pretty quickly, that we have to undo a lot of what we have just put in place but it will be what it will be.  With passenger numbers still so low, it will be interesting to see what increase we see next week and into the return of schools/opening of shops etc.

Is 158 going to be Double Decker route with Social Distancing Simon

How many people can get on Sprinter bus in total with Social Distancing as Hinckley Local routes 1/2 are returning on Monday

Some on the 158 may be double decker but with the frequency change I am not expecting it to be all double decker.

4 on a Sprinter but I think that that 1/2 might be operated by something bigger.

Any reason the 825 does a clockwise loop of Great Haywood for both Lichfield and Stafford journeys rather than clockwise for Lichfield and anti for Stafford?

Also any changes to covid timetable for Cannock imminent?

Hi

It is to do with the safety of turning on and off the A51 if I recall - was a road safety rep request.

Cannock and Tamworth timetable changes from 4th July.

Telford is from this weekend.

Thanks for this info. Can you say yet whether the 1 and 3 are returning on July 4th?

Interesting. Can you confirm that the former Sapphire 1 route wont be operated by clapped out threadbare knackers? Also have TFWM relaxed emissions restrictions on the 2? As it seems to be permanently run with 15/16 year old Darts?

All I have seen on the 2 are Solos but I am not in Cannock daily.  Yes, the emissions rule was relaxed.
