Arriva - Unusual Workings

[nx4737]

I noticed a poster on one of the Scanias today advertising extra 110 journeys, it's increasing to every 15mins, with the service now starting from Corporation Street again... Now, Tamworth is already at bursting point, where on earth will they find the spare capacity for this?

Cut the running time is the usual for Arriva or not pinch the 61 plates from Cannock they do not deserve them.

Will more double deckers be needed , or will OmniLink's be used? Usually one on the 110 most days.

If its going to be every 15 mins surely it wont need deckers at all?? Ive never seen a decker more than half full at the 20 min frequency

Peak times they're very much full!

[Bob]

They should bring back an express fast link between brum/tamworth maybe just 2/3 peak journeys a day

Because 3 110's and a 116 an hour isn't enough?

[Bob]

There used to be less 110's previously than there are now and a couple of faster services. The 110 takes quite a long time from tamworth to bham

Don't forget it's competing with the train that only takes 15 minutes and is only a couple of quid more!

Any idea what that's usually used on?

Normally in Wolverhampton, on the 584/6. When in Telford, I believe it's normally used on the 23 & 24.
