Wednesfield not making is money since it opened is different to what Arriva staff have posted on here previously. Also, I was under the impression that the Centro contracts won for Hill Top of a 5 year contract where what was hurting Wednesfield in th latter years of the contract at leass?

Wednesfield didn't open until a year later, Hilltop was making money, Centro was unhappy with the amount of break downs and poor service Wednesfield was conducting, so the put Hilltops fleet and revenue into Wednesfield. Apparently Wednesfield were losing 80K a week. the contracts that they took over from midland were c**p any how. Wednesfield original had a PVR of 80.

From what I know, they pulled all Hilltops route out to prop up wedensfield, the depot has made no money since the day it opened and has been losing money hand over fist. But thats the arriva way, close a small profitable depot to prop up a lose making one.

Wednesdfield is closing in April, lost all its tenders for April, services that are left are going to cannock until contracts are finished, Tamworth is getting the 35 which will be extended to Tamworth. GM was pulled out a number of weeks ago and sent to Shrewsbury interim is there until closure. Diamond secured most of the tenders this year. Hence the reason for the fleet increase in O licence.

Yeah, a few more on the road, dafs couldn't make it apparently.

They aren't having scanias now, 51 Plate DAFS and 02 Plate Solos.
