I'm not sure how the September running boards will work, at the moment there's some morning peak X51 from Walsall, but the running boards will change completely in September

Thats interesting Tony, theyll be the most modern buses in Cannock if they do run there. I wish they'd run into Hednesford, they'd wipe the floor with the Pye Geeen Circular

But that would import delays from Birmingham up to Hednesford and thus have a certain Cannock area based correspondent moaning

Best day for the amount of hydrogen buses out in service.

I hear this morning that Walsall garage is losing the 19 service in October to Chaserider buses.

I hear this morning that Walsall garage is losing the 19 service in October to Chaserider buses.

Unless they're opening the depot specially, it'll just be the Monday to Saturday service surely, so does that mean Nx keep the Sunday service or someone else (Diamond?) has it instead?

How many times has Cannock depot under Arriva had the 19 for some reason?

(I know Arriva Wednesfield also operated it as well, before that's pointed out!)

Read a post on Facebook earlier don't know how true it is but it's alleged the 45 is returning to National Express from Diamond and will be operated from Walsall garage and the 9 is transferring from Walsall to Wolverhampton garage again don't know how true that is but this is what I read.

chaserider do have to open the depot on sundays for the 100 Madeley to wellington service plus the odd rail replacement work.

Noticing 753(?) on the 70 just, in Walsall Bus Station, presumbly on loan, how come Walsall didn't get any 7xx when they were being delivered, as they would've been ideal for the Alumwell route?

The LWB E200's do the job fine, don't forget they replaced the B6's which are near enough the same length and size...

They've even had Fleetlines, Lynxes and Nationals on the routes predecessor 336 in times gone by. 

@Jack is correct that LWB E200s  perform perfectly.

The 7xx replaced short darts 36xx at WB and PB Solo on 654/54. There was only 14 delivered.  If they had been more I'm sure they would of been put on.

Noticed nx buy full saloon single deck.rather than midibuses. As at WA has around 50 Volvo B6 with only 6 replacement E200 in 2015 855-860.
