Driver of the X51 from Cannock the other morning said there's talk of SIX possible new routes potentially into Staffordshire!  Wonder if this'll come to anything

And whats the betting i54 will be involved in some way?

Anything is possible I guess, we never expected NXWM to bid for SCC tenders originally. As they already operate deep in to Staffordshire with the 54/154/854 routes and the smaller operators appear to be doing well competing against Arriva, there's always a chance NXWM might decide to expand their presence further in to Staffs

There's a ZBY too. Guess this is 6758, with those two being 6756 & 6757...

ZBY has the VIN I have for 6756

My money would be on a Cannock to Walsall route. Especially now Arriva have f#### up the 1

Which ones? Surely not all buses have it or do they?

Yes, all are having them

[domino.99]

Yes, all are having them

Oh, is it because of the low fare zone?

[uniquicity]

Just confirmed ZBY is 6756

Thanks for confirming that. Now waiting to see what reg 2225 and 2235 get :p

Yeah it's in the garage. Seen the day before yesterday, or was it yesterday, I can't remember. 2234/5 getting fueled up. Presumably for the first time.

If you look at the map on the flyer, they have a funny definition of the Walsall area!

@Westy I think it goes to West Bromwich to compete against a company which has Urbans branded as "Value"

Do you remember the old Walsall area travelcard?

That included trips to Wednesbury Bus Station(Sandwell), the section of the 79 between Darlo & Wednesbury, in fact the whole Walsall borough, then Cannock & Hednesford later.

The Walsall western boundary as per the 529 is the Portobello island, not Shepwell Green.
