Whats that supposed to mean? I dont make ludicrous route suggestions...

No you don't, you think Cannock could have as much transport routes and competing, but Cannock is a small town of 65,022,with 27.7% of the populationwithout cars which means approximately 16,255 people using buses so with that small figure getting smaller, it's unlikely that Cannock (sadly) won't have a good bus network,but with profits so low chances are Arriva will sell it.

'Chances are Arriva will sell it'? But if its an unprofitable basket case whod want to buy it?

Redditch should be good operating territory and as someone who uses local buses there, they often do well

Diamond?? They'd proberbly have the Pye Greens ever 20 seconds like they do with the 301!! I wonder how The Green Bus would cope competing in Cannock

I doubt Diamond would be bothered with Cannock, although nxwm apparently were considering taking over the whole network & running it from Walsall not that long ago supposedly just prior to the Chase takeover. I wonder what happened there

arrivaaston

Well it ay just the interior is it, its deciding what colour diamond they'd use lol.....I think well stick with Arriva for the time being ;)

Bob

You never know tho mate, you gotta admit it does look like Arriva havent got much interest in running Cannock any more ...

arrivaaston

 Maybe Travel Express lol..... Be nice to see somr antique buses pottering about in Cannock ;D

arrivaaston

True but I think its a case (and I'm not slating arriva) of they think there the "big boys" of cannock, no competitors so they can do what they like

Bob

Yea but if its not that profitable they might just f##k it off
