NXWM still operate the stupid oclock X51s into Cannock, although theres no timetable for it at the bus station! i always wonder why theyve hung on to this 3 journeys a day..

i think its just on the 1 route. that & the 25/6 must be one of only a handful of Cannock services that make a decent profit. oh and the Staffords. Any more news on whether its gonna get deckers?
