I take it that the mass arrival of Arriva liveried buses hasn't occurred then as yet?

[Ck]

I wonder if when the buses from Tamworth some will go to Cannock to cover the 32/33 route freeing up the 51 plates for the old midland routes out off Cannock ?

[sconehead85]

Regarding the fleet numbers, I PARTLY got the Dart fleet numbers right, but not those in the 21xx range, I got the Optare Solos correct.  Im surprised the Excel was purchased, a reinstated Dart could have replaced that.

[Bob]

What an absolute load of tat, cant see much lasting very long, wonder what'll be first to go

[PM]

Totally agree with Bob. NEWEST is 8 years!!!!! And theres only one vehicle this age

[Tony]

Totally agree with Bob. NEWEST is 8 years!!!!! And theres only one vehicle this age

There are only two vehicles with the 'new style' registrations introduced in 2001, 11 years ago, tells you how bad it is

[PM]

Average vehicle age of over 13 and a half years!!!!!! ;D

[Bob]

I hope Cannock garage doesnt end up with too many of these
