No. Nbus has never been valid in Cannock. It's only valid upto the Walsall & South Staffordshire border on the A34 just after Bloxwich.

@BusMan Greg come in, pull your self together, you should know that the nbus isn't valid in Cannock lol

6724. Noteworthy but it has happened numerous times previously.

Wasn't there a 32 journey operated by one last year?

PB2938

If the journey was around 0930 from Walsall it it was a 701 board doing one daily full round trip.

As regards to the 32 the 302 back in 2015 did have a platinum booked for half a trip. This was soon changed about6 weeks after to a 36 board.

It was the time posted 3:50pm ish so probably was a school bus prior. There was a single decker on the X51 too which I've not seen before... the are the wrong way round lol

Sundays, they use the most fuel efficient buses, which is why you get Scanias, E200s & the E400 range of buses only, apart from the buses used on the 31/32, as the Diamond versions are similar.

Rest of the week, god knows.

There are usually at least a couple of double deckers during the day, presumably they're allocated to boards that cover the busiest rush hour trips, and happen to be boards that stay out late.

The 10 & 10A certainly don't need deckers for capacity on an evening & weekends !

4601 has finally made a return to the road. It's on the 6 this evening as a change bus for 4607.
