Coming into Cannock on X51 at 5pm and the X14 was just entering the designer outlet....it was either extremely early or very late

Are all of these breakdowns the old Arriva 'tat' that Bob was oh so pleased to see on a daily basis?

[Bob]

Not all no. Interestingly, Dart 7 has come in on a 3 from Brownhills.in service with the engine cover up despite being flashed driver hasnt noticed. Its going out, in that condition on the 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember seeing a Midland Classic vehicle doing that in Lichfield Bus Station once.

Facebooked them to tell them!

Volvo broke down in Stafford last night. The Solo on X14 only managed 1 round trip. Another Volvo has been stuck on it. A two hourly route has got through four buses in a day when its usual allocation is 1 bus 🤦‍♂️

An SPD dart was pulled off 70 this morning ( or broke down) and either 104/106 got taken off the pye greens and hasnt been out again since this morning. 106 i think. Both those Solos struggle to do a full days service maybe they should be permanently on Pye Greens for the inevitable breakdowns daily...

SPD 6 hasn't been seen since late April! SLF 19/2379 made into service for a brief time at the very start but hasn't been out in months....

[Westy]

12 on the first number 1 down today.

12 passengers?

[BusMan Greg]

Think he means dart number 12

[Bob]

Think he means dart number 12

Was gonna say 12 on board would be a miracle lol

[Westy]

To be honest, there was one other passenger & he'd come from Cannock as he didn't want to go round the houses on the X51.

By the way,  has Chaserider been told the unloading arrangements for Walsall Bus Station, as it's not stopping in the same place twice?
