AFAIK, buses are now washed every 3 days. Also, vehicles on country runs like the 70 will get more dirtier than something running round on town services.

I have to say, one person I saw moaning they will now have to walk 10 minutes to the bus stop is just pathetic moaning for the sake of moaning.
Lots of people have to walk more than 10 minutes in Birmingham for a bus let alone small towns. Can't have buses everywhere
Quote from: WilliamLeylandNational on January 27, 2021, 08:14:07 AMLooking at the posting, they don't make it clear if covid related changes or a permanent thing, seems to be provoking comments from some unhappy customers it seems too. Would have been interesting to see the comments on the Arriva Cannock thread if Arriva had done this in the same manor! However I know it's a challenging time and wish Chaserider all the best with the network.
The 6 and 827 look certain to be chopped based on the latest on Facebook. Other changes to routes/timetables as well.
Quote from: WilliamLeylandNational on January 25, 2021, 09:00:56 AMOne major fail by Chaserider this morning is the lack of updates on their Facebook page, compare to Arriva who were updating over Sunday and into this morning and doing so very well.
Any idea if Chaserider are running buses this morning? Website says they are not.

But on Monday taking these buses off the road ( through no fault of D and G) left them short of vehicles and journeys missed out i wouldnt of thought that was what theyd have wanted. And as these buses were out in service on Saturday but took off the road on Sun or Mon doesnt that look pretty bad on Arriva? I mean did they all develop faults overnight then? Hopefully theyll get some more buses in, the stuff thats been drafted in looks very smart and mustve reduced average fleet age a bit

Why were they immediately taken off the road then?
Quote from: mikestone on December 23, 2020, 10:50:53 PMI gather there is no information posters on the Cannock bus allocation regarding it either!
Has there been anything in the local papers - google suggests not?

Arriva have confirmed to staff today that they are looking to dispose of the Cannock operation to D&G Bus

The Government advice remains that public transport should be used only if essential and we support that. However, as more lockdown restrictions are eased, more people will be using the bus and we wanted to send out a message that reinforces what needs to happen when they travel and what they can expect.
