I remember seeing a Midland Classic vehicle doing that in Lichfield Bus Station once.

Facebooked them to tell them!

Volvo broke down in Stafford last night. The Solo on X14 only managed 1 round trip. Another Volvo has been stuck on it. A two hourly route has got through four buses in a day when its usual allocation is 1 bus 🤦‍♂️

An SPD dart was pulled off 70 this morning ( or broke down) and either 104/106 got taken off the pye greens and hasnt been out again since this morning. 106 i think. Both those Solos struggle to do a full days service maybe they should be permanently on Pye Greens for the inevitable breakdowns daily...

SPD 6 hasn't been seen since late April! SLF 19/2379 made into service for a brief time at the very start but hasn't been out in months....

Was gonna say 12 on board would be a miracle lol

To be honest, there was one other passenger & he'd come from Cannock as he didn't want to go round the houses on the X51.

By the way, has Chaserider been told the unloading arrangements for Walsall Bus Station, as it's not stopping in the same place twice?

Express Sprinter 158 · July 03, 2021, 09:39:08 PM

X14 timetable changed from 12th July with Oakengates and Priorslee no longer served:
