I assume it is in response to Central Buses X55 which must be having an effect of Arriva's takings
Theyd be better off competing on the X12. Arriva lichfield to burton route take a ridiculous amount of time. I bwt they're kickin thereselves they never thought of it first lol. Wonder what theyre changing on the stafford services. ...
When mid staffs is dissolved most people from cannock will be going to new cross hospital for appts as theyre takingover ccannock hospital. So maybe the 68 will gain in importance
Think the 74/75 change is a cancellation of the 74A. X65 very much a response against the X55...
Lol the 74a was stupidly timed. Surely a regular 20min service would of been better

This is why the bus industry is screwed. The minute an operator comes along with an innovative and quality idea, the status quo can too easily flex their muscles and run loss leaders to get rid of them. They will start undercutting on fares and dispose of the competition then reduce the service and increase the fares again once the competition is eradicated. Only large corporate players can afford to do this and as long as that is the case nothing will ever progress.
Yep pity someone doesnt do it to arriva on the Walsall 1 :)

Looks like theyve lost a shedload of stafford services jeez...could it spell the end of the mpd dart in stafford lol? Are all the derby trips on the X50 going? So itll run between hanley and Uttoxeter only?

The Stafford services are deregistered because they are all tendered services and the next round of tendering has not been announced yet so Arriva need to deregister them in case they do not win them again as the change date is coming up to the 56 day deadline. If Arriva do win the renewed tender, which is still a strong possibility they will be reregistered under short notice registrations
Yea or will they be that desperate for exclusivity in stafford like they were in stafford theyll throw the dummy out again?

Yes it has :)
That 19 is always changing for one reason or another.
Compared with Nx Walsall 29 which I seem to recall has not changed at all since the North Walsall Review.
Don't remember the old 319 changing that much under Twm/Nx.
Its cos its failed and fallen flat on its face lol like most things arriva midlands do....
IMO I can understand them ceratailing the 19 because not many people use the 19 between Walsall & Bloxwich I've noticed it a couple of times when I caught it I was the only passenger on the bus between Walsall & Bloxwich.
