Arriva Shrewsbury

GHA have won the contract for this along with three of the town services (can't remember the numbers).

Let's see who's operating the town services tomorrow?

Could well be both of them... I had read Arriva were potentially going to continue to operate them commercially?

[Tony]

To answer a few queries

Services 297,341/2, 113-6 have moved from Telford to Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury Town Services 23 and 26 continue to be operated by Arriva after GHA withdrew from the Tender

GHA seem to have lost a bit of their spark at the moment, I'm pleased Arriva haven't given way, as long as the routes are viable/close to viable.

Found out today (ie, travelled on it today) that Shrewsbury depot runs the 738/740 Ludlow to Knighton service. Hell of a lot of dead mileage between that and the 297 then!

The dead mileage was still quite hefty on the 738/740 when Bridgnorth operated it!

That's a shame was looking forward to GHA on Shrewsbury locals, what happened anybody know why, the new timetables where on there website last week so it must have been a sudden thing.

P&R branded 2971 on the 8 today. Don't know how unusual it is, so putting it here.

Shrewsbury P & R Versa 2970 was in Hanley last Saturday on the 164. This route is nearly always (!! ) Versas but I have not seen a P&R on it before.

436 and X5/81 cancelled in todays N&P - I had heard they only lost the 436 of the GHA work gained.

[Depotosw]

Shame these routes have been lost. I suspect the X5 however may return in another registration as I understand its under the same as the 81 and more so as the X5 is commercial unless they are really cutting back?
