Don't forget the boundary changes affecting the Westminster seats at the next election. One West Midlands MP has already said they're running in another seat in Herefordshire.

No, and neither are you, they are quite correct in pointing out that this thread is starting to go off-topic.

Why isn't the local mp all over this he would have a field day with the press getting his photo in the papers

The local MP for Cannock Chase is Dame Amanda Milling MP.  Given the issues with Chaserider I would be surprised if none of her constituents had kicked off to her office or on her social media about the operators quality and reliability.  If she is interested in standing again next year she might start making a noise.  Most MP's intending to stand again tend to be more active on local issues in the 12 months before a General Election, unless they are in an ultra safe seat.

Cannock is a key target for Labour and the Chase had a Labour MP from 1992 to 2010.

Staffordshire County Council though who are the transport authority for the area don't have their next elections until 2025.  Given how rubbish bus services are in the county, if the next Government decided to reorganise local government in Staffordshire, axe the county council and replace it with unitaries no bus users would miss it.

Funny you should say that. On her fb page theres a  post about the trains shes put and a comment about her doing nothing about chaserider or "whys she scared to take on Chaserider" to be precise. The seat, despite her majority, is predicted to flip back to Labour apoarently. Shes quite sly. When the Sunday services and also evenings went, she was all over the press at the time slaghing off Arriva for axing them, but not mentioning SCC funfing cuts so only telling half a story

It'll be interesting to see if they do the Sunday service, as well as the Monday to Saturday service, as Cannock is now open, according to a comment on the NX Walsall thread, on Sundays, to do the Telford services & run rail replacements, so it could be possible?

Roomer has it that Chaserider are to get some evoras. Hopefully this will help with the breakdowns that keep getting mentioned.

D&G are also apparently due some new vehicles as well.
