I'll bet my years wage that either one or both of these routes won't ever start

The 780 covers most of his proposed 15, an that is usually dead!

[the trainbasher]

Isn't the 10 partially of the 110??

saw it on the morning X73 a few times last week

[Bob]

Considering its supposed to be a motorway express service the X73 doesn't half get some rubbish on it.  Lol

[the trainbasher]

For once bob we are in agreement!

That MPD copes with the loadings and traffic fine, just a shame about the battered livery!

12,13,823 operated by Solus from *tomorrow* (7th) according to Staffordshire CC - I don't recall ever seeing them on N&P.
;
Now also shows 88 withdrawn after 7th - may not have scrolled down far enough before though.

Has their stolen "beloved" NSU512 olympian been found yet

[mikestone]

From Staffs website, yet another short  notice change  - how do they get away with it?

;
From 22nd April 2014
• Acorn Bus service 82/84A/84C/X82 (Tamworth – Clifton Campville) will
be taken over by Arriva, with no change to the timetable.

[mikestone]

It would seem Heartland didn't give them up after all.

[mikestone]

According to the latest Staffs update they are going to be operated by Solus from May 19th.
;
From 25th June they are cancelling the 15 and amending the 10 - I was in Corporation street for arond an hour on Friday and never saw a 10 - has anyone ever seen a 15?

Todays X73. as normal, is the Really Orange Optare Excel Y237DBC
