3720 broke down in Lichfield on Weds evening around 5pm with a broken gearbox. The driver reckons Cannock is going to be getting lots of newer vehicles including deckers in the next few weeks. Not sure what hed been smoking!

Pye Greens must be the only busy route then?

Are the four 52 plate Commanders SORN or have they finally been retired? Saw them in use at the very start of lockdown but not since then.

Reported on the Oxford and Chilterns Bus Page that Volvos 3900 - 3906 have gone to Milton Keynes and that 7 55/06 reg MK Scanias are being parked up at Cannock. Will be interesting to see if these ever return, or whether it turns out to be another part of increasing the age profile of the Cannock fleet.

They were yes - another sign of a sorry state of decline for the depot
