nice to see some better class of propper vehicles at cannock, shame its part of the euro 6 thing for the 35a/36, as really those big buses are wasted on country side route, when old knackerd time expired solos are still being used on the busier interurban work conking out and being generally unreliable! Lets hope when the new vehicles arrive for the 35a/36 these MCV volovs can be kept hold off to update some crap solos off the interurban work!

Like 124 that absolute knackwr that broke down twice today 🤣🤣 least it madr it as far as Norton on the 60 🤣

Imagine relying on the ( tendered) hourly 3 to Brownhills, no bus from Cannock to brownhills between 10.40 and 13.40...( the 11.40 didnt make it and they obvs couldnt manage to find anything for the 12.40), bus no 2 broke down this morning, was briefly replaced by 671, which dubsequently also broke down, 2 was then sent back out again, to subsequently break down. Theyve finally managed to pull 64 off another route to run tbe 13.40 to brownhills, and being one of the most unreliable heaps theyve got, itd be hilarious if they manage a hat trick 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know if Bob's reports are as accurate as they are entertaining but surely the Traffic Commissioners would have something to say about such perennially unreliable services.

Its a one bus route that got through three buses. The 1140 broke down on the way from cannock, the 1240 didnt even operate, then they finally pulled a streetlite off pye greens for the 1.40

Chaserider seem to be doing well on the 35A 36 contracts, alreafy managed two breakdowns, a volvo dead early yesterday, and metrocity 799 today. The 3, the 1 bus wiorking has literally broke down every single day this week so far and needed replacing at some point after not making the full journey  onky day it hadnt is today, when another bus had to be found to replace 64 on the 1540 and ended up woth it running late  that 05 plate Solo that actually does breakdown every day broke down on morning peak 70 had to be replaced, and then got srnt out again only to not manage a trip on the PGs and break down again. Yesterday the 74/826/828 had various breakdowns leading to several missing buses, check out the customer who waited ages for a 74 in stafford yesterday cos two 74s never ran , so the third which did eventually come wouldve meant well over an hrs wait. Wonder whether tfwm will rue the day they awarded them the tender....

Actually for your information the Volvo 631 didn't die it had a very minor RTC which took it out of service and was replaced by 799 which was in it's place today this was then swapped later in the day today to bus 1 owing due to it running low on AdBlue so I suggest you get your facts right before you start sprouting your bullshit!!
