Questions for Simon from Arriva

[Tony]

Are the 52/06 plate Commanders used on the 1 Euro 5?

The 1 is commercial
The 2 receives a subsidy from TfWM

[Bob]

Any more vehicle transfers/route changes planned for Cannock in the New Year?

[leepenfold30]

With Clean Air Zone coming into Leicester are Thurmaston and Wigston having New Double Deckers

A Pulsar has gone back from Tamworth to Cannock and 2740 is to leave Cannock.  Nothing else planned.

Hi

Nothing planned.  Retrofits to Euro 6 standard continue.

What about Wigstons B7TLs? Surely they aren't being upgraded! I mean, I'm not complaining but it's a surprise. Also, I've seen a picture with a for sale sign at wigston depot. Any subtle hints about that?

Will have to wait and see with the B7 vehicles.

We would love to build a new depot and improve our facilities.  Am looking to build a business case and looking to see what offers we get on the current site.

Will Sapphire return to Cannock? Would be good to see on 60 / 60A and 1 /2

I'd imagime it unlikely Simon?

Yes unlikely.

The basic Arriva spec on new buses does include most of the Sapphire elements now apart from next stop announcements.

Couldn't you put next stop announcements in without the sapphire brand then? They are quite useful.

3810 (Thurmaston) - rear sign not working.
4200 (Wigston) - side sign not working.
4205 (Wigston) - side sign not working.
4746 (Thurmaston) - rear sign not working.

The rear on 3810 hasn't worked for over a year!
