132's a bit of a state, took the driver 5 mins to get it started tonight on the 25, making a right racket and vibrates terrible idling. Didnt 132/133 get debranded sent to Stoke who swiftly returned them due to the state of them? 😜

Explains why 133 was debranded and it hasn't even been rebranded yet, could do with a few touch ups to be honest. Prefer 132 out of 133, feels like a better ride on a passengers point of view

Anyone by any means have the old Arriva cannock fleet list I could look at? It would be greatly appreciated

132 a d 669 seem to be lasting but 190 broke down after days of not being out and doing 5 trips so 197 had to replace it on the 60. Plus 144 broke down today ad well

Haven't seen this mentioned here but it seems the 62 (Cannock to Lichfield) won't be withdrawn in June.

You get the impression,  not registering Saturday services doesn't really help with the sustainability of a route. 

Lack of evening & Sunday service is one thing, but is Chaserider the only company locally that deletes Saturday journeys,  but keeps Monday to Friday journeys?

Well, as detailed in previous threads, I have made at least one suggestion to boost patronage,  but no one was interested!

There was a Chaserider E200 MMC on Jennens Road this morning waiting to turn right onto the ring road. While coming into City Centre on 4811.
Think working rail replacements.
