Telford Garage

Also the 1/2 branded 3324 was serving the 5A today.
The 5 branded Pulsar is still on the 3 as mentioned by Will.

I presume a lot are in for repairs at the moment hence the weird allocation?

3736 was on the 9 earlier bound for Wolverhampton I saw it on Bridgnorth - High Street makes me laugh though how it still has "Free Wi-Fi" stickers on the front but I bet pound to a penny it has been disconnected as 2267 claims it also has free Wi-Fi but when you try and connect to it you just get a blank page..... ::)

Can confirm that it works once you get past the non mobile friendly survey. Uses Three for data connection capped at about 2Mb.

4803 is still VOR but all repairs should be finished soon.
DLP68 has donated it's engine to 4810 so that should be back soon too.

Cancelled??? Hmmmmm

[Bob]

Is it an error they've run that route or similar for years

[Steveminor]

From my sources it's not an error. It is cancelled due to low patronage

[Bob]

Crikey...Wasn't that long ago they converted it to pulsars from cadets

[Steveminor]

Well banga will be happier now.

[Bob]

Yea says something though when Arriva are incapable of competing against them :D

Competing over more empty buses? The patronage is just not there so why run the route.

[Bob]

So if there was low patronage why was the route converted to larger capacity buses before the banga route was introduced?  Any plans to axe any of your many poorly performing Cannock services?

With the 8 & 8a finishing what going to happen as banga doesn't run Saturdays unless they will add a Saturday service .wonder if they will increase the service  like they did on 530 service

Looks like the train then next time I go over that way.
