B7RLE 3870 on the 110 in City now

Is this just a temporary utter downgrade or permanent?

I assume the MPDs are there as the Scanias have gone to Oswestry but the Pulsars are in for refurb before they arrive.

2209 was on the 4/5/7 again  this morning, together with another - 2211.

I would have thought the Darts are for the 35. What is running on the 35?

[derningtona]

The 765 seems to interwork with the 35 as 2273 was on the 15.05 from Tamworth but 2212 returned at 16.00 (timetable times - both about a quarter of an hour late, so it evidently isn't working well) today.
2703 was on the 3A and decker 4413 was on the 3!

I gather most of the 35's have been the SB120's

[Michael Bevan]

Hockley Hopper (8/9) branded 3005 is on the 35 today.

Surprised these Sunday 35's are running dead from Tamworth!

As I said before,  if Tamworth had got the Sunday 77's as well, some 110e's could have run Tamworth to Sutton then swopped to 77 to work into Walsall then swop to 35.

I don't think Arriva will stay long term on Sunday 35's for that reason.

(So Councilor Worrall will have to find someone else to pay his money for the subsidy to instead! )

What would be the point of the 110Es? The 110s carry fresh air between Tamworth an Sutton. It would just increase the running coasts of the 35 considerably

Surely Sunday service would of been better running from Cannock depot

Not really, that would be two lots of drivers to route learn on it instead of one and the mileage difference is negligible. It's probably costing them money to run wherever they put it.

Are they not interworking with the 765 on a Sunday as that runs on Sunday? (Haven't looked at timetable to see if it would work.)

Theres no Sunday service on the 765.

Theres no Sunday service on the 765.

While on Traveline etc... 765 isn't shown to be running, the leaflet from Tamworth Library, dated 7th January 2017, says otherwise
