2635 at stafford replaced 2623 which is withdrawn.
2641 appeared this afternoon from cannock and for short term use as 2634 may of done its last runs.

Any idea what is happening to the 5 - presumably it must be affected by D&G taking over the 841?

Surprise surprise as usual there's nothing on buses arrivas website or anything about the 74a finishing or changes to times of the 74/75. Crap as usual lol

Are Arriva disposing of the B6's as runners or scrap? I'm really surprised they're being withdrawn I thought there would be a fair bit of life in them yet.

Maybe they were mechanically knackered. All that overheating over the years . Tbf if youd have seen the state of v202kdas interior its understandable its had those seats. Dreadful. V203 got withdrawn due to its general crap condition

Some of them are sound as a pound imo, why should old seats render them bad buses?

staffsdave · August 16, 2014, 06:48:23 PM

Theres talk of the B6s all moving to derby in the near future - don't know the reason for this but some scrappers from Cannock will be moved up to Stafford for further storage

staffsdave · August 16, 2014, 06:50:00 PM

2282 has just had its MOT and will be withdrawn before the end of the year as will 2284/2287/2232/2233.
