So they cut the buses through longfors to once an hour, then the streets##te on it disappears fron the map, it tjen meqns theres now a two hour gap in service on the 70 and the 71 ( 70 turns into 71 at cannock) . Ypu call the 01543 number and get through to Leicester! Absolute joke of a company

Supriss me the Traffic Commissioners have not had many complaints on service unreliability
With checks taken place & action . 

Our traffic commissioners wouldn't do anything anyway. They are absolutely spineless when it comes enforcing local bus registrations. They let operators do what they want and everyone knows it. There is no incentive to hit the 95% reliability target (1 minute early - 6 minutes late)

Has any company been decent in the Cannock area since deregulation? Doesn't sound like it.

MRN were quite good in 80s 90s with their Tigers and Olympians and refurbed Nationals, WMT too with Timesavers etc

Everyone knocking them now are the ones who thought they would be the saviour and Platinum style new buses (ok may be not the last bit )
Unfortunately low passengers numbers equals low or zero investment. A coat of red paint dont fix the issue. Be careful  what you wish for and watch what happens in Burton in the coming weeks

The only thing id wiah for is a reliable service where you dont have to check an app to see if your hourly service isnt just later, if its even running at all. When you provide an abysmal service, low passenger numbers just get lower

Must have plenty of buses and drivers today as they were doing the Walsall - Rugeley Rail Replacement

Yes it's called Rotala... don't think it won't happen because I can see it being the case before much longer

Really? Why would anyone want cannock?

If people are not using the service it will have to change as it needs to make a profit not a lose I know people need buses but look at the cost wages fuel etc
