That would be more appropriate - people going to/from Cannock won't want another 5-10 mins to their journey time. At present the 3 and 60A pass by so that would provide a link with Burntwood, Lichfield, Norton Canes, Brownhills and Walsall.

If they ever send the 3 back to Walsall lol

I say withdraw the 3 and extend the 8 (NX)

Those 52 plate commanders are surely due to be retired just been on a 60A to lichfield and it could barely make 30mph ! Despite the slight hold up at temp lights near mill farm it surely should have got to lichfield on time considering barely anyone got on or off yet it was late

Just because one of them is slow, doesn't mean they all are.

noticed today that 3743 Pulasr is now back at Tamworth depot, so thats another newer of the cannock vehicles shipped out, wonder whats occuring,,,, seeing as most the 'newer 10/12 year old stuff' seems to be shipping out, most of the interurban routes are now regularly operated with old wrecks too

3927 now at Cannock.

That bus used to be unreliable. Wonder why one of the tiny about of half decent vehicles  has been swapped for junk? Currently on 60A on a 58 plate Solo its had a respray but never been refurbished internally and is awful inside. Are these sort of buses really suited to interurban work? Especially given their age?

Until they are dangerous to go on the road or start to fail mechanically, where there is no point in keeping fixing it, they'll be there to stay.

I think theyve just given up in Cannock

id say more than likely preparing the depot and/or its contents to be dumped with the loads of scrap end of life junk thats piling in there of late, feel sorry for who ever inherits that load of junk tbh as the damage has been done to the network as its been run in to the ground with time expired unsuitable unreliable scrap heaps, it will take a lot of putting right thats for sure, passengers lose confidence and find alternative arrangments, who really wants to suffer small cramped  bone shaking heaps of unsuitable dirty junk on long interurban runs at sky high fares.
