Title: Lichfield to Burton
Post by: Bob on October 26, 2012, 02:58:50 PM
Saw an advert for the 7 Lichfield-Burton route yesterday, oddly in a Cannock local paper advertising special fares & 'improved' journey times, then i took a look at the timetable. They must be having a laugh whod want to travel on a clapped out Dart ( which i bet theyll go back to using) for AN HOUR & 15 mins when they can get a much better quality bus & journey time on the Midland Classic X12? I bet Arriva are kicking themselves for not running a service like this!

In arrivas defence I've not seen a dart used on this route for abit, its been the cadets a lot l8ley but there not the best, what happened to the commanders that Burton had for the 7ks and 112's??

Still a much quieter smoother trip than on a hairdryer SB120 or a vile noisy screaming SB200 or worse still any Dart
