2412 was placed as "reserve" but was reinstated, and I thought the Y/HKE were all now resprayed, the other solol is 2564 X731FPO but I don't think that will see the Arriva liverey as it is the "Sainsburys" bus

I believe Sainsburys was repainted shortly after the Arriva take over (obviously back into Sainsburys livery).

2106 is on the 70 this evening saw in Bloxwich

[Trident 4609]

When are 2544/6 due to start working from Wednesfield. 2544 was on the 68 today without a fare box. Will these be fitted upon arrival at Wednesfield.

Reason i ask is because i witnessed a driver take the fare (Like other Arriva areas without an Exact Fare policy) from a passenger instead of the passenger putting the money into the chute.

One of the ex Wardles Solo's was on the 57 today with a farebox fitted

Well of course you would?  Cannock routes dont operate an exact fare policy

[arrivaaston]

[Bob]

One of the buses on the 57 yesterday was 2563 which is already at Wednesfield. Maybe you saw that one as 2544/6 still appear to be at CK?

2113 is the latest MPD back in service repainted into Arriva Aquamarine livery/retrimmed into Arriva moquette

[Bob]

Wonder if the new rocket pool service will be a success? Or will it fail like all their other efforts in the west midlands

They don't seem to be doing too bad. I did see a half full MPD this afternoon however there was a Banga Solo just infront. I still think having a combined 7-8 minute frequency on the 530 is quite excessive (15 minutes each).
