Sad news today. It was announced late last night that one of the former owners and founders of D&G Bus David Reeves, had passed away after suffering a heart attack.

I have known David for many years, and have always found him to be a complete Gentleman. It's not that long since he sold his part in D&G. He will be sadly missed.  This is from a post on Facebook

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. R.I.P David.

He's most likely just copied someone else's post that did know him off Facebook.

David didn't get much of a retirement....

Perhaps it would be a good idea to say it was a quote, note post it like you were good friends with him

It is considered 'good practice' and good forum etiquette that if you are going to copy and paste material from elsewhere, to provide a link and make clear that the text is taken from elsewhere.

Does the 841 not serve Great Haywood anymore or is this temporary? They have a good link now from Arriva now that it does the full loop, used to visit my mate and had to walk to Little Haywood to catch the 825 late.

Hi @I.murphy123


yes it doesn't serve Great Haywood anymore.
I think it's a perminant change. this came into force I think in Sept 19 or may be it was April 19.

It was April 2019 when the contract changed and the route was altered so didn't serve Great Haywood.

Staffordshire CC in their wisdom resurfaced the road under the bridges at Little Haywood which stopped the Arriva buses getting under them.  Arriva then re-routed the 825 from the Wolsey Bridge junction along the A51 to the top end of Great Haywood and then down through Gt Haywood, Little Haywood and Colwich to rejoin the A51 to Rugeley.  At the same time they reduced the frequency to hourly and introduced an 826 service that missed out the loop and went straight from Wolsey Bridge to Rugeley.
It was at this time that D & G re-routed their 841 to miss out Tixall and Great Haywood which now goes straight to Weston via the Tixall Road in Stafford and the new estates in that area.
