is there an arriva update due? :)

Maybe a major re-jig of the Cannock services are needed? The 560 can be a pretty busy route tho

Disasterous consequences?? why what happened

Maybe some Versa's? For the 25/26? Or Sb200s? And they could reduce the frequency of some routes like the 1 & 70 and put em back to deckers, the 70 used to regularly have deckerson it years ago and so did the Stafford route!

Looks like Stafford are getting some secondhand darts from elswhere in arriva, saw an S-KHN Reg one today on a local service, it looked a bit tatty hadnt been refurbed etc, Cannock will prob get some as well no doubt. Darts are such shit things to travel on, crappy b series engines always screaming yukkk. There that loud i can hear em over my headphones. I was waitin for the X31 in brum a few months back with my mate Scania 3810 pulled up and broke down at the bus stop! had to wait another hour cos they wouldnt send another bus from cannock. The driver said he parked up and lost a load of air

i was on a 51 Plate MPD yesterday it was in shocking condition noisy as anythin, rattling terrible and the gearbox juddered really bad. For the extortionate fares they charge they could at least use half decent buses

Yep the Staffordshire network is pants! Given how Cannock is on the fringe of the West Midlands the difference is shocking

the 12.30 from cannock was 25 mins late today!!

Much more comfy seats though, better than those crappy plastic things in the dafs and cannocks own 51 plate dart batch!

Totally off subject but why does Birmingham have NO council run public toilets ive been waiting for a bus loads of times theres none!! the only ones recently were in stephenson place under the ramp and theyve bloody just shut them after months of just the Ladies being open. birmingham council are a joke!!

THey aint got many older darts tho and certainly not 20 doubtfully even 10, maybe theyll displace the Daf and theyll be moved to other garages, not keen on them, dead uncomfortable seats and awful legroom on them

What would they replace at telford?? they hav 61 and 09 versa's, 59 plate Sb200s, and 51 plate, and Y reg sb120s, plus a couple of 03 ones and 55 plate couple of darts that didnt move to leicester. So their allocation is pretty modern

Theyd be perfect for the 31/32/33 as they can get pretty uncomfortable with mpds at times, or the 25/26's. MPD's are horrible crap buses uncomfortable seats and HORRENDOUSLY noisy!

Wonder if Cannock will get any, there P & R & s reg darts are pretty much clapped out

anyone know whats gonna happen to em when the Mercs arrive?
