What has this got to do with NX? It's a Staffs contract that might be replaced.

Of far more interest is that I have heard the X12 being withdrawn between Sutton and Lichfield, I hear there may be a replacement service for this.

Correct

Is it more the case that they are  expecting  the rail service to become a farce, than a sudden interest in competing with  Arriva?.

Why would the newly electrified ( around a week or so after) train service become a farce?

Teething problems potentially maybe?

If NX replace it, could it be replaced by an extended X3 maybe?

Yeah as the X3 goes to Hill Hook and crosses paths with the X12. Not much further to Lichfield on the scale of the route.

That's a big shame  :'( Though when I rode the last Saturday journey into Sutton last weekend, it was only me and a few others riding through to the West Midlands, though quite a few people got off on the outskirts of Lichfield. At least all is not completely lost if NXWM introduce a replacement

The withdrawal of the sutton to lichfield section of the x12 could result in one of the PB brum to sutton services being extended. I also heard a rumor that NX might be extending their 3 service to cannock similar to what arriva do now

National Express are not just replacing the X12 (which was about 9 return journies a day Monday-Saturday. They are giving a full blown Birmingham-Lichfield service a trial. It will be running 15 hours a day with a 20 minute peak frequency and even an hourly Sunday service is being introduced (The X3 currently doesn't run Sundays)

Is anyone anywhere else in the country being this brave?
