Jesus Christ!  Do they know anything?  Let's have a Network review completely F##k everything over, then re register old routes!  Take it the X60 is axed? The X70 won't run to Rugeley?  Not sure what they plan for the Cannock to Walsall routes. But can't be worse than how they've completely screwed them up now. But the 74B?  Only been running a week. ...

Ive heard the 1 and 2 are going back to the original routes.  As for the 74b ive heard its cancelled as they are using the buses on the regular 74 route to make a more frequent service

They can't be, it is only a timetable change on the 1 & 2 VOSA registration above, not route as well

LG

60 looks like it will finish at lichfield as the X65 has been re registered which will probably run from tamworth again

I dont know then, it could be an error its just what I heard

If that's the case it'll be bye bye deckers then. Theyre already surplus.  They need to put some new buses, it was upgraded in 2007 with new 57 plate pulsars then a couple of years ago 2008 vintage deckers. We now get knackered 52 plate ex route 1 commanders ....##fail##

The X60 was another resounding commercial success then...

I predict the  X70 will pretty much go the same way...

Everything from Cannock Wednesfield is always an epic fail..

Why do they have to constantly keep meddling with the routes? How do passengers keep up ?

I would suspect this has been done in part to try to get more concessionary revenue, as anyone travelling across Lichfield will have to swop to another service, so will have to register their pass again (or pay another £1.20).  Or maybe that is just a little cynical?

So why change it in the first place then? Presumably the X60 will end and all trips will go back to being 60s.  You never know maybe the deckers will make an apoearance

I believe the deckers will stay, despite what people say you often see good loadings on the 74 and 75.  The deckers will stay

Could be to do with the rumours of the 825 going back to Cannock so they will probably do 60 then 825 again.  Just a thought bob instead of always presuming a fail

All this week it's been mainly commanders including at busy times. Pathetic
