What livery is 6501 in?

That 128 solo heap was on 828 earlier in the week and that crappy blue and white SR. Minibuses on interurban and big buses riding country lanes. The group sees to be investing for D & G but nowt for cannock other than more old clapped out solos being dumped

31 out of 60 buses are younger than 12 years old and they're due more brand new buses in the new year including a couple of electric buses and replacing buses for the 826,828 routes. I'd hardly say they're not investing in cannock.

Was the plan originally funding to upgrade the 74 and 875 to electric buses?

I'm led to believe they're getting 2 electric buses for the 74 and the rest will be Evoras. Also the 74 will run alone and not be with 828

I see Centrebus.groupio have got 3 more evoras listed 6005-7, 24 plates in 9 livery but listed in service yet

Where have you seen this?

Just seen the two D & G Evoros branded the 9's travelling towards Addersley Green from Delta Way.  Corporate Blue at back but Yellow as against normal D & G Red at front.  Couldn't see reg or fleet numbers as there where across the other side of the traffic island at Queensville.

They're yellow fronted with a red rear and white band

On 13 July those two were parked up at Cannock along with a mystery third. They were fitted with seatbelts which I expect will be removed. Apparently they are waiting for next stop announcements to be fitted, and after that will be in service

According to bus lists on the web only 4 have been ordered. I was told that 7 were due

be more scrap solos if anything is dumped lol

The Evora's will displace 6 versas. Most of the older solos are to be scrapped and replaced so can't see them sending them to cannock

When are they due

End of August apparently

It's got engine failure. Its next to be withdrawn. Think they're waiting on 195, 198 and 704 to return before they scrap it

I wonder if any D&G buses will be sent to Cannock when the 7 new evoras are put into service? This might be a chance to get rid of some problem buses

Hope their getting fined

Why would you hope that? Would that benefit you in any way.

Short on buses. Apparently they're looking for 2 decent 2nd hand buses but until then Bus Link will be payed for it

I'm sure Centrebus or D&G would have 2 spare. The 3 ex Cardiff buses are buslink too apparently

Are the ex Arriva Volvos on the way out? Only two out of the 6 remaining are in use atm.

I've noticed that this week there seems to be fewer out
