Have any deckers left the fleet?  Only one parked in garage tonight at 20.30. Cant imagine any in service at this time so unless there's three in tje bays? Didnt notice any deckers on 70 today either. ...

At 2030 there would be one B9 running private from Stafford so there was either one on late 74's or two on the pits, unless the 2000 74 ex Cannock was single deck tonight

Bob

Yes but don't forget hardly any b9tl have been on staffords of late  so there might not have been any today.  Is there a reason that they're suddenly not being used on the 74/75?  When cannock to stafford service goes hourly a decker will definitely be required!

4201-4 still at Cannock.

Bob

Whats gonna happen with them now the stafford services are hourly?  Is it going to be single decker operated? Obviously two deckers will be surplus to requirements regardless

BN

2745 now at Cannock.

Yes, don't know which route they will go on instead.

The 70 probably considering they have been on there recently.

Bob

Probably get transferred elsewhere. Interestingly the 74 /5 have had a lot of single deckers on recently,  will this carry on once the cannock to staffords are reduced to an hourly service?  Can you imagine?  A cadet or whatever coping....?

They will probably stay.....

At least now they will have two spares so they can make sure the 74/5 are decker operated most of the times. Any not needed on the 74/5 could be used on Pye Greens and the 70?

I'm not from Cannock as you know but that's what I think :)

Bob

This is Arriva they don't do spares lol. Thats why theres nearly always at least one pulsar on the 1 or 2/2a.  The 25 has enough 63 plate pulsars 5 branded plus two unbranded ones one of which is usually on there mon to fri. The 70, does it ever really warrant a decker? Technically they could even use them on the 62 & 68 if they were desperate

Doesn't the 68 have a low bridge en route, somewhere near Great Wyrley rail station?
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...
