Arriva Stafford Services

Arriva 2368 fj54otp had a mishap yesterday in Stafford bus station trying to pull from behind a bus in a gap too tight he went too far over the opposite path and hit the bus shelter. This damaged the top corner of the bus and smashed the window on the shelter. We were supprised to see him carry on!

2373 was sighted on the Stafford rail replacements on Saturday. Only sighting of a bus on this work rather than all the coaches.

[staffsdave]

2159 2289 + 1 more mpd (can't remember which) 2368/69/71/73/78/79 all at cannock depot either working or off the road.
2276 2721/42 3701 3721 3723 all working off stafford

Very strange. Is that even enough to cover Staffords operation?  I could see them giving Stafford up and selling out to someone like D & G.  Sad really Stafford used to be one of Midland Red top performing garages.....diminished to what it is now..

This is happening more and more now they have a single fleet.

I think Stafford will eventually go ( the operation )

I was in Stafford Fri 11am - 2pm on business and none of the Arriva services I saw were carrying very healthy loads

Is it worth First(?) taking it on?

Highly likely given Burton. Question is who wants it and would they let go of Cannock now the two are effectively a package?

Or why not slash costs and shut the outstation and just work buses in from Cannock.

[Bob]

Would cannock have room?I'd imagine  the delta way site is worth a fair bit also

wonder if select bus might take on some more services if Arriva stafford are  having problems I know select will need some more buses &more discs
