Route changes from 11/2/13

[winston]

There were a load of variations recorded on VOSA today (5/2/13), all of which start from 11/2/13 & every single one is for a route change which seems a little odd. It covers areas such as Stafford, Tamworth, Shrewsbury & West Midlands routes

[Bob]

Any in cannock?

[s94]

Very short notice for all these considering the 11th is next Monday.  :o

Something doesnt seem quite right about that. Who knows!

[winston]

Any in cannock?

Nope!

Arriva thought about Cannock, then thought no, if we change anything Bob will have nothing to moan about.....

Looking at that only the 825 which would be for Cannock depot but none in the Cannock area mainly Stafford runs and Hill top/Wednesfield depots with a bit of Burton.  Some of the W Mids are subsidised runs its not tender time is it?

Centro tender time is usually April & October

[Westy]

Whats the 335 change?

[Bob]

Hopefully the 825 will go back to Stafford and the SB200s with it?

[s94]

Any further updates on this? No one seems to be any the wiser on these planned changes. Cant see whats actually going to happen myself!

[arrivaaston]

surely if theres changes to the 825 then it would affect the 60 as these 2 routes interwork together...... unless 825 goes back to Stafford and Cannock bring back service 61

[Justin Tyme]

Could it be a case of just updating route descriptions to match reality?

I see that the services are across the company's territory gives the impression, so maybe an official has done an audit to check whether the routes actually taken now are the same as are registered.

[Discodave]

Possible but being an offical notice it would be as said to amend route it would say something else to support your view.

[bwsau cymru]

Whats the 335 change?

I would imagine that if they are going to change anything it would be that it would follow the same route at nxwm day time service, however I hope not as I would no longer be able to use the route then :(

[s94]

So have any route changes actually occurred then or is this as I expected, no noticeable/actual change?
