Winston, I don't watch VOSA as carefully as you but are you sure Arriva haven't registered the X25 through to Tamworth in replacement?

Andy, they haven't as yet. Only other changes are on the 2/2A/2E, 25/6, 60 & 74/5

The changes to the 60 include X60 journeys which extend from Lichfield to Tamworth to replace the X65. Might be every 30 mins instead of hourly as well, can't remember.

That's a shame. The X65 was already half hourly.

X65 is only half hourly at peak times, hourly during the day so the X60 might be an improvement if it's half hourly all day.

Interesting, a direct link from Tamworth to Cannock, something they've never bothered to try before. Coupled with the strengthening of the Lichfield to Stafford corridor at last it would appear Arriva are starting to take Lichfield corridors seriously again.

Anyone know why the Trident was in Walsall about 0902, neither the 35B or the 74 are busy enough to warrant a decker?
