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

All Cannocks Solos want retiring lol

Is 128, the old D & G Solo a loan? On the 70 today along with 148. Weird allocations for an interurban service

Funnily enough 5002 replaced it late in the day today

If it's that first one, I normally either see it or catch it in Leamore, but havent seen it.

Luckily a 31 turned up.

It was tracking as running too and left Cannock on time. It went off the map on bus times in Gt Wyrley 

Is the X51 on diversion in Landywood. Stood waitimg from 615am and despite bus times saying its served it, the 6.22 am from Wardles Lane into Brun has not arrived and is now almost in Bloxwich. NOTHING on the websjte. Joke of a service!

Seeing Walsall seems to be getting a small collection of them together(presumbly this will be the final move before withdrawal!), is there likely to be anything planned?

4632 is on the 4.24 pm Cannock X51 from Brum, i wasnt expecting that! 😀

Not as of yet and probably not in the current depo as it's not owned by them word is they are looking at buying land ( or have on the a5) to build new so will probably be implementing it there.

Doubt theyd have it ready for December though

Nope they're getting I think 9 evoras

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

oh that would be a massive improvement for sure if it comes off then. Had the odd journey on the 73 plate evoras and they very are nice vehicles

They are. Only poor point qbout them i think is the floor covering, it looks really hard to keep clean

Buses are due to be delivered in December for the 74 & 828

Electric ones arent they?

Think it's 136? YJ59NNA

Yeah thats the one

Hopefully that old 07 plate Solo or the blue and white SR arent its replacement

Some fleet news

625 was officially withdrawn Thursday evening

Repainted white but always pitch black at the back and stank of fumes lol

That old white volvo got pulled off 828 and stuck on 36 to replace 1 in Lichfield earlier, leaving quite a gap on 828. I bet the passengers waiting for it were happy lol. 

Anyone know when the other 2 door Streetlites going to re enter service?

620 is now at Chaserider, not sure if it's a loan or a transfer yet but its on the Wolverhampton 71.

Towed out of the bus station today
