You'd catch the train at Walsall

I was thinking of someone who lives on a part of the route after Walsall, as an example. I don't see why they'd go back on themselves.

Anyone between Walsall and Bloxwich can, and has always been able to get the 31 to Bloxwich North Sattion

The Walsall Road, Cannock (2 before the bus station) stop is also only a short walk to Cannock Station

Seeing it was mentioned on the other thread about people walking from Turnberry onto Stafford Road for an X51, do many, especially evenings & Sundays, walk to the nearest 31 at Mossley Eagle Hotel?

Wouldve thought crossing Broad Lane railway bridge might be an issue?

As far as I know most people on Turnberry Road are not scared of heights, or unable to cross a road safely, specially one with dedicated pedestrian refuges in the middle of it

Ouch that's not good for NX - great for Arriva though. At least they can change in Bloxwich or Walsall if they still need the X51

Its not a good day at all for the X51, in addition to the 10.16 from Cannock not running at all this morning the 1.25 from brum which was several mins late, has made it back to Cannock and appears to have broken down. Still there at 2.55 with hazards on

I love Walsall buses

Would E200's fit, assuming WA are in a position to swap round for a few days?

Alternatively double decks are shorter in length, so swop with those instead!

Could a B7RLE or Scania fit round the 39? I know there are Scanias branded for it but it seems to have E200s most of the time, so if a longer bus can fit on there, it would make sense to do a swap.

The reason for the E200s on the 39 are the interworking with the 36

E200s are the same width as any other bus!

I wasn't aware of the interworking, that makes sense then.
