116's too and the 112 at the end of October.

arrivaaston

i thought the 116 stopped when they changed all thetamworth routes, i thought the 110 and 115 was re routed to cover where the 116 used to go

The 116 still runs into Birmingham, hourly I think. The 115 used to run to Birmingham but was cut to Tamworth-Coleshill.

3811 left Cannock on Tuesday, not sure when 3810 is coming to Tamworth.

arrivaaston

As someone who's driven 3810 and 3417 I'll take 3417 any day.

arrivaaston

really? u prefer the l113 series scania to the omnilinks?? Arriva Derbys omnicitys look nice, would there be much of a difference between the 35** and the 38**, obviously the engine and the lay out but like cab controls would there be much of a difference??

andy

There is little difference...we had a couple of 35** Omnicities via Warks CC. I never really managed to find a difference to be honest, except the sound...the Omnicities had a slightly more muffled sound but control panel and driving wise, no difference except the driving position on an Omnicity is a tad lower for some reason. You can see that from the photos too.

I loved the 113 series Scanias when they weren't overheating, much quicker than anything else on offer. They are wasted rotting in Cannock yard to be honest but I think the floors may have gone in a couple, they needed welding work pretty frequently.
