Arriva X31

[Bob]

Going to be an announcement on the future of the service later this week, hope its good news!!!!!

[Discodave]

well with the new things they have in the west mids it might have a future

[Bob]

An announcement should be made this week apparently. According to the driver yesterday the X31 might be moving to another depot.

[Discodave]

would make sense now they have expanded one of the new bases would be sensible

[Bob]

if they move it to wednesfield i got a feeling theyll curtain route to new invention

[Tony]

It certainly looks like Wednesfield depot will be staying. A Manager from Arriva North West is being moved down on a 3 month secondment to run it.

If Wednesfield is staying, could the West Bromwich allocation be moved in there and close that depot. Otherwise what were all the allocation increases about at Cannock etc

That's what one of the Midland drivers I know seems to think what's gonna happen.

Would be nice to see the e200 buses at wednesfield but I reckon they will be cascaded elsewhere and crap from elsewhere to go there

[Bob]

i wonder if Arriva will keep & repaint the Solos?

[Discodave]

possible as some other areas in the midlands have them but they probberly be shifted off most of the good stuff midland has is alreday on its way elsewhere the scanias and the VDL are according to posts elsewhere

[Bob]

 i wish Network & Arriva would pull their finger out and get an announcement out on the X31, due to end a week on Sat & still nothing, no poster on the bus or anything!

[Bob]

Called Centro today to see what was happening ( as i use the route regularly to go head office in brum, especially if its on a Thur/ Fri as i work in new invention those days) and theres more meetings this week, and still no decision! what are they gonna do announce its finishing less than a week beforehand?

[MW]

I hope it's cancelled and never returns, so that this topic can never be discussed again.

[Bob]

Dont read the topic if you dont like it dude
