So now they have a route from bloxwich to walsall funded do we think they could extend there current route 1 from Great Wyrley to bloxwich to join cannock back with walsall?

That would mean they needed several more euro 6 buses and I can't see anyone using a long convoluted route against the X51

If the bus is just used on the 1 then doesnt need to be euro 6 also journey times would be around the same time so gives the customer the option

Of course it needs to be Euro 6 if it is coming into the West Midlands. It would be more than 1 bus as well. If you are extending the route from Great Wyrley to Bloxwich you couldn't do Huntington to Bloxwich with 1 bus.

How does going around Coalpool take the same time as going down Bloxwich Road

They tried with the 1, and even being a quicker route it failed miserably against the X51. They didnt really try with it, loaded it with old Solos, suffered reliability issues and it flopped.

If you go cannock to bloxwich thats 20-25 and the 19 is 25 so thats about the same time as the x51

Yeah...but if the 1 bombed...why would they even bother?

Whatever it stipulates in the contract. Arriva operated just about everything on it from Solos to ALX400 Dafs.

The days of the 19 going to Wolves with the ex London DLA'a were good. Since the route was cut it's just a run of the mill local service, horrible service now, same youths that catch the 29 catch the 19...

Hmm. 

Wonder if the youths will give the same 'attention' to the 19 they gave the 29?
