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

Dave just ignore him he's a child with nothing better to do, the discussion will no doubt go on once they announce something! There is going to be a lot of change in the area over the next few months and this will just be a small part I would imagine.

I may not be a PCV driver anymore and yes I have moaned about management but the X31 is a casulty of the M6 the delays are dire it could do with going through Walsall yes NXWM would be miffed but it really is for the people of the shires and an alternative to the train if things go worng at Cannock Arriva may be competing on the Walsall bit but one bus is not going to bankrupt NXWM

arriva midlands have now axed day returns on the X31, the 10.30 from cannock had a standing load which it reached the M6

[Bob]

Axed day returns? you sure? Sometimes the drivers just arent sure how to programme them into the ticket machines...

[woody38]

The driver said with the service finishing they had axed a lot of the fares, maybe he did not have the right code because he said the machine kept saying error when he entered return, wouldn't be surprised though Arriva are good at doing these kind of things.

[Bob]

Its not confirmed that it is finishing yet tho, theres Nowt on Arriva or Network WM website, its pathetic really !

According to Centro that is a 3month emergency tender, and a new one can be put in at short notice, there is a meeting with them & the operator this week. Smart ass ...

That would have been fun going up the M6!

[Bob]

Yea the passengers wouldve needed ear plugs. Centro are having a final meeting tomorrow with Arriva & the decision will be made. Hope they keep it/re route it

An MPD on the x31 they are scraping the bottom of the barrel suprised if it could do 50 mph as most are knackered

[Bob]

it was the 03 reg one, one of the ones with the quieter engine, much better than the B-Series engine
