Questions for Simon from Arriva

[Westy]

Slightly amended service this year for Lichfield Bower.

Does that mean Tamworth is doing all the buses, even from Cannock, or is someone coming in especially at Cannock when they normally wouldnt?

All being done from Tamworth but some Cannock drivers are doing some of the work.

Could you not trial run some 60's and 825's on Sundays from Tamworth? I'm sure you've probably looked at this option a hundred times though.

On one of Shrewsbury's versas  2981 there is a handrail at the back of the bus by the emergency handle that very loose and moves about when u touch it. Just thought it might need mentioning

Hi,

Got this sorted on the same day.  Thanks for the information.

I think in the course of a weekday there are 7 buses that work journeys on the 9.

Hi

I can't comment.

The following is from the monthly Staffordshire County Council update on public transport. Apologies if these have been mentioned elsewhere on this forum and I've overlooked them. Nothing on the Arriva website. Perhaps the company might let passengers know some time soon if this information is correct?

Hi

These are an accurate summary but do not highlight some of the details contained within each service registration. 

The information will be released publicly soon - we are already at an advance stage of timetable leaflet preparation.

[Simon@Arriva]

Pretty unlikely.

Would you consider it correct to summise though that there are cuts to services here?

Define cuts?

[Bob]

Define cuts?

Less buses to lichfield? No way of getting from Cannock wood or hednesford to lichfield directly? Fewer buses from Cannock to Walsall?
