Re the upcoming changes to the network in January, do you expect any fleet changes alongside it?

Not really. There may be some fleet changes for other reasons in the new year however.

Are you guys looking at route branding the 74? as it's always a mix between the old 158 streetlites (Arriva interurban) and e200mmcs (2017 Arriva) (This is the bus to Coventry btw)

Not in my area I am afraid but I doubt we would do this.

Afraid not and it is not anything new. Just a cascade/move around depots.

What could Cannock potentially lose?

Btw the evolution of the network, could it potentially involve any new destinations?

Got a little challenge for you Simon if you're up for it. Have a look at the seats of 3726, it was on the 70 today, particularly the seats in the stepped area. The seats are actually threadbare ( as are many of the same batch), but as i understand theres no plans for a desperately needed retrim for any of them. Thats fair enough, if its unaffordable at the moment etc. But could anything else be done? Like a steam clean maybe? They are filthy, really filthy, and smell terrible too. Have a look at the interior, ide be interested to see what your thoughts were, and if you were happy with the condition/think the level of cleanliness was acceptable etc 😃

Hi,

I had a good look this afternoon. Not our best example. All being well this bus will be retrimmed on Friday.

Bob · December 04, 2018, 04:57:37 PM

Wow that was quick. You agree its in a pretty dire state?

Is the 05 plate Volvo still back in use in Cannock? Not seen it for ages
