Title: Service Changes - Stafford-Wolverhampton
Post by: Tony on March 05, 2015, 01:48:42 PM
Anyone know exactly what Arriva are doing on the Wolverhampton-Stafford corridor?

It looks like lots of different variations appearing (76, 76A, 76S, X76 and 78), but reduced to hourly overall and with diversions via Brewood

Could the 78 be a similar route to the 878 of Select?

Had heard that the 76 would be going all day via Brewood and be extended to Stafford Hospital replacing the 75 there.  Will find out on Monday the actual details.  Also heard it would be operated by another depot (Wednesfield).

Suppose Wednesfield ought to do a bit more work outside WM county.

What about Penkridge - Cannock? And would the only Stafford - Cannock link be hourly via Brocton?

What are the loadings like between Cannock & Penkridge?

Green Bus tended to finish early with no evening & Sunday service.

Pity Arriva cant get it together enough to advertise the changes on its buses or website considering they take place a fortnight tomorrow! !!!!!

Wednesfield will take over the 76 from 26th April.
