Cannock Garage

[646]

You do know that the decision to move buses out of a depot is not down to local managers.  This matter is dealt with my more senior managers.

Isn't it?

I didn't see the decker on there, I noted 2743 cadet and 37** commander

[Bob]

decker on both 74/75 today.  Both left Cannock with about 4 passengers.  Must be the rain!

[Bob]

feel sorry for route 61 passengers this afternoon,  the 2.03 from lichfield either didn't run or was over 30 mins late andthe 3.03 has broken down. .....aaccording to driver

I've just been hanging around Rugeley Trent Valley because the 15:15 rail replacement bus didn't run after an Arriva Cadet decided to make the car park nice and slippy by depositing its diesel all over the car park. Lovely multi coloured oil patterns everywhere now!

At least the 15:33 was a nice reliable 15 plate E200 from Central Buses

I can see why London Midland continually use Central Buses, quality, quality, quality summarises everything they put their name to...

So looks like they will keep the half hour timetable when Social Travel dissapear

[Bob]

Yea for now....They tried it with the 74A a couple of years ago. Soon reverted back to hourly. Atm you've got 75 leaving almost empty....and I wouldnt imagine the Penkridge market is that busy....

[Bob]

No, Cannock and Stafford are now one with no fleet separation.

[Bob]

Ok is this particular bus operating from the Stafford outstation?

[646]

Stands a chance if you heard it a mile off on service 8.
