60 does

Cheers both.

Gotta go to a funeral a week on Tuesday with sister.

Just seeing what options we've got.

Quote from: Rachvince53 on April 29, 2023, 03:21:00 PMChaserider 60 is the nearest service. You should alight in  Norton Road just after the A5190 island (The Five Ways pub is on the right at the island). The entrance is behind the bus shelter.
Based on what you've given me, is it the stop shown on Bustimes.Org as 'Heath Hayes by Cannock Road' we need to get off at?

Yes

Give yourself plenty of time though as Chaserider have a tendency not to turn up on occasions.

Yeah. Thought as much, as we are toying with the idea of a taxi as well.

Did have a brief look at the rail timetable between Bloxwich & Cannock, and despite being able to pick up the 60 in rail station/McArthur Glen area, save going into Cannock itself, it's tight for connections.

Will have to look at the X51 in comparison.

Think you'll find someone else has taken that option! :)

Presumably the TFWM emissions rules will affect the 70 and the Wolves extensions of the 71

Unless suitable buses can be sourced from the parent company.

Will that little bit of the 3 in Brownhills be affected as well?

Shouldn't be. 3 is already mandatory to Euro 6 buses. 70 & 71 will probably see the streetlites be permanently moved to run it. Me personally can't see them getting new buses to run it

Don't necessarily need new buses, just ones that are Euro6.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Solo1

Not sure how busy 70/71 are but could they see enviros or solo.sr instead

I dont think Cannocks SR solos are Euro 6 , they 58/09 plate , too small and incredibly prone to breaking down
