I would imagine travelling up the A34 will be the death of the X51. Caught 10.11 from cannock and we have not left bridgetown yet

Standard everywhere in Cannock at the moment with Lichfield Road shut.

It took my daughter twice as long in a car from my house to Cannock Wednesday evening as it does for me to walk it normally

Its ridiculous. I hope this designer village is worth it. Hows the X51 doing? Hard to gauge sometimes it has more on than arriva other times not but neither seem to have many passengers. Im imagining the situation cant last and itll end up with who blinks first. Id imagine the 2 is sufferong bad losses

They should call it 937B the same as they should have called it X51A when it was a limited peak time service to Cannock.

What is the reason behind the 4/4H/4M having next stop announcements? And why haven't they done this on other routes?

The 4H announcements only work up until Halesowen bus station. And a few of them don't work: 1851, 1862 and 1879 are ones I can think of.

If it's of interest to anyone, there is now a booked Platinum journey on the 32 over the six weeks holiday. There is a 934 board that does the 08:59 32 from Lower Farm, and 09:27 32 from Walsall. It's 6714 this morning.
