Anyone noted with the reissue of the online timetables, that the 1 & 2 are no longer flagged as Sapphire?

Bob

Crazy that the trainer is a 55 plate yet knackered 02 and 03 plates are in passenger service

Not really, NX doing the same, the company is just looking to the future and having a vehicle in the training fleet that's likely to a) stay there for a fair length of time and b) is at least similar to buses the drivers will be driving when they're trained

Meanwhile they still even have Y-reg Tridents in service
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

True they do but a Trident is a heavyweight bus built for interurban work. Arriva use knackered midibuses not designed for that on that. 2745 is shocking. Christ even some of the 06 plate commanders sound absolutely knackered now and the 55 plate volvos they recently sent down south could barely last a day on pye greens they were so unreliable!

2401 YJ58 PKF turned up operating at Telford, it appeared in Shrewsbury today on service 96. Loan or transfer?

Westy

Is it next Sunday that is Cannock's final Sunday operating day?

Smethwickian

New timetables with axed evening and Sunday services are dated to commence 1 April, Westy - next Sunday, Easter Day - so there will be no service from Cannock on that day nor indeed on the following day, bank holiday Monday. Today's would appear to be the last Sunday outing for the affected routes.

Also note that according to Arriva's website, services appear to be greatly reduced on Good Friday this year.

Bob

Will Cannock be losing any buses with its reduced commitments? Cant see the point in the 1 and 2 staying Sapphire? Upgrading them obviously didnt increase patronage and the buses used are crap, plus not on it half the time anyway?
