Deckers in Cannock

[tphi12000]

Heartlands had 1 of these didn't they and did the M/SDA go to Arriva North East or were these the ones that went to Scotland?

the dp ones 4191-4193 went to scotland and became 7267-9 the others were sold via the stafford bus centre.Tony

So it was just some M/GRY and N/VVO scanias that went to Arriva N.E along with R/MNU and S/KJU olympians

If there are gonna be Deckers for the 74 i reckon itll be next year now :-/

[arrivaaston]

I wouldn't mind seein a couple of lowlanders come from wigston to work the 74's, I think they're quite smart especialy sprayed in the new liverey

5 branded pulsars for the 74/75 means for out and 1 as a 'spare' so in cannock today on the staffords I saw
3719 FJ06ZTE
3729 YJ57BPZ
3730 YJ57BRF
Meanwhile over on 32's..........
2209 SN03LGC (This had a fault with it) and got replaced with.......
3603 V603DBC
2390 V338MBV
3731 YJ57BRF
Whilst on Pye Greens were various different buses including 3727 YJ57BUA
And the 3728 YJ57BUE tirned up on 60's!!

[Bob]

Perhaps theyre preparing to de brand them? and using them on anything?

[arrivaaston]

I think they should of refurbed these for shrewsbury and sent the centros to cannock but as you've said before Bob, refurb them and brand them for the 1's (Huntington - Walsall) and maybe the 3701-3704 could transfer to Burton with the other commanders

3727-3731 were pay by Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust in 2007 for the 74/75 routes

[arrivaaston]

3728 seems in a right state, its going blue at the rear, I think this is the 1 that had an accident, I think 2702 ran into the back of this 1

[Bob]

Didnt the deal with mid staffs last for something like 5 years?  Didnt see any deckers in Cannock today, but a 61 plate Pulsar on the 33 and two of them on the Pye Greens! So the 60/825 mustve had different buses on

[arrivaaston]

I saw 2 of them pass through leamore heading to walsall, the 1 had A1 Wolverhampton and the other just displayed Arriva Midlands

2 of the 3 S-JUA deckers were on the A1 today, do they come off other Cannock services to operate the A1 or do they go back to Cannock garage and park up after each trip to Amazon?

[Bob]

been on Commander FG52 GGV tonight, jesus that bus is knackered

[Bob]

What routes could Stafford use them on though?

[arrivaaston]

So 3701-3704 to stafford? Are stafford starting a new route then because they'd be wasted on stafford local routes, the V/KDA b6's that are there now don't get full, the W/SNR darts don't get full so what they going to use these commanders on?
