The timetable leaflet has appeared in Walsall Travelshop!

I guess it only means there could be more incentive to have a permanent Cannock to Brum link on the X51 either 60, 30 or every 20 mins. Good news, hopefully Nx can compete with some dreadful Arriva operations.

Running the X51 more regularly to cannock would be fantastic and its something ive asked them to consider, but I would still be happy with a cannock-walsall route. Cannock needs competition.

Doubt they will. Have you seen Arrivas loadings on 1 and 2? Converting the 1 to Sapphire was supposed to increase passengers. Had theopposite, they DECREASED the service 🤣🤣🤣 half the time any junk is on there. 2745 yesterday. Worst bus theyve got on a premium route? A1 allocating

[l.murphy123]

Yeah im a regular user of the 1, 2, 2E and it was full today in both directions.

[Bob]

Thats a rare occasion. If it was that much of a busy route why cut frequency of the 1 from every 20 to every 30 mins? Every time i see them especially the 2 theyre half full at best. Not good considering when Arriva first took on the 1 after Chase takeover they were using deckers on it on a Saturday....

Different traffic notice in the buses today refering to the 10a !

Don't suppose anyone has spotted Councilor Richard Worrall on the first journey?

Don't suppose anyone has spotted Councilor Richard Worrall on the first journey?

Why would they?

[Westy]

Why would they?

He has been known to go on the first journeys of new services, or where a new facilty has been opened, for example I heard he went on the first service to leave that 'island' platform in Walsall Bus Station when it finally opened.

(He was also responsible for getting the subsidised 35 in Walsall going, by paying from his allowance!)

I've seen him on the odd Aston Manor trip too.

Because they are constantly cutting back. They also scrapped the 2A. There's alot of issues with Arriva Cannock at the moment and in my opinion NXWM or Diamond would do a better job.

They wouldnt have cut it if patronage had increased! Diamomd? Arriva arent brilliant but Jesus 🤣

[Westy]

Diamond would need a South Staffs base, if they came into Cannock.

NX could run the services from Walsall & Wolves.

By  the way, there's 2 versions of the 10a timetable leaflet in circulation, the standard 10/10a NWM version & a NX 10a only version, featuring the fares/special offers.
