I'm sure Tony will correct me, but the Daysaver Plus was introduced to help the 54 break even.

Does this mean the 10A, X3 & X51 are breaking even?
I suspect that all the mentioned services are breaking even. Although the X51 does seem to carry very well outside the boundary.

To be fair, that should be helping Arriva up to a point as well.

Yes id guess the 63 and 26 to Hednesford/Rugeley but I dont use them so have no idea. The X51 has got lots of Landywood users out of trouble in my village. A big increase in people asking on my community group how much it is for a day saver etc.

The X3 bus stop at Lichfield bus station has glass (well, plastic), a timetable and branded vinyls. It's the neatest stand there!

National Express deciding the best thing to do is tart it up themselves to give people somewhere decent to shelter

Shame they don't do the same thing in Water Orton; Warwickshire, x70 bus stops still say 590 on them. Mind you in relation to focus on the east ;)

Absolutely, shame they can't do the 10A the same, but they share a stand. If they all marketed their own bus stops it would look better. Diamind and Select share one for the 35, 36. Midland Classic have two, Arriva have two and give NX two. One spare for waiting.

We was sharing the same stand as the 10A when we first starting going to Lichfield on the X3. We were then moved back to our current stand a while after

I think theyre the same shelters that were there in the 70s Tony, Hednesford and Cannock had the same ones!
