What colour was it?

It might have been the NKZ one.
WMR website says Rail Reps to Lichfield Trent Valley so it would have been going to Duddeston Station I think.

Chaserider had 2mmc out yesterday 2 + 539 on rail replacement

the Centrebus livered one (539) is understood to be coming to Leicester at some point with metrocity 799 going the other way

Very interesting and exciting

Wonder if the two still not repainted white E200s are still supposed to be going

I'm not sure. I know even if they do lose them they'll still have buses to run the 3 as all the enviros and metrocitys are euro 6

The 1 & 1A will be scrapped in June sometime apparently

Source?

What gets me is that they will just take the service off my road.

Why don't they think outside the box for a replacement route?

Why does it have to be a Walsall to Cannock route, if its obviously not working?

Why not part of another route instead?

No 56 days notice?

Effective 20th June 2022 its down as "variation of route and timetable".
https://bustimes.org/registrations/PD1128125/134
So whatever that means, not a cancellation of the registration.

In regards to the losing service on the road thing, I think @Westy has been mentioning that for a several years now. Perhaps there isn't enough usage on that road to justify the service.

So neither 1 or 1A is finishing then?

Its states on their website
https://www.chaserider.co.uk/

Services 1 and 1A will operate to a reduced timetable between 20th June and 1st July, and will then be withdrawn.

 

National Express West Midlands will continue to run a regular service between Cannock, Bloxwich and Walsall on route X51.

Also on the Website

Services 70 and 71 will be revised from 20th June.

 

Service 70 will no longer serve New Cross Hospital due to low passenger numbers. Buses will operate via Cannock Road between Featherstone and Wolverhampton.

 

Service 71 will no longer serve Amos Lane in Wednesfield, and will operate via Avon Road in Cannock rather than the Longford estate.

 

Both services 70 and 71 will no longer operate between Cannock and Huntington. Service 74 will continue to provide a regular service through Huntington.

 

All buses in Wolverhampton will serve stop AC on the northbound side of Stafford Street.
