Anybody know where 3807 and 3810 are today?

[Bob]

The ex Leicester/telford ones are much better than the ex Oswestry one cannock currently has.  Caught fj55 bvt home on 70 it was rammed and not really a good choice for peak time working.  It vibrates horribly.  As I say the others are pretty good

3807 has been out all day on the x60, 3810 had issues and returned to bass but did later return toservice replacing 420* on the 5.40 75 service

[Bob]

What was up with the 75 decker?

Bob, 1 youll love, 2376 on 74/75 with 3702.... HOWEVER 3702 broke down and got replaced by 3704 lol

[Bob]

2376 on a route thats supposed to be deckered....well. and 3702/4 what anice threadbare treat. Theyre putting loads of rubbish on staffordsof late. Noticed that pye greens have had cadets and commanders on recently too. Commander on yesterday and today

[Bob]

PS isnt 3704 the most knackered of all cannocks commanders? Surprised it made it to stafford!

[Bob]

2379 is on 74/5 today ive just passed it while on 4202 going the other way.  That is a ridiculous allocation!  A 38 seater on a deckered route? Pathetic.  4202 whilst not rammed is reasonably full up and down. A dart on the journey would have been extremely uncomfortable with a lot of standees. Just when cannock was starting to improve. ..

Pathetic?

What about if a decker brokedown or was in for servicing, should the running card just be stood or should a bus be allocated to pick people up?

[Bob]

Yes pathetic.  For a deckered route you should have at least one spare or at the very least allocate a full sized single decker. Two darts were on there today

"Would you rather. ." Blah blah blah..just a excuse for rubbish service

Whatever. Go moan to your MP, not here

@trainbasher Admin will decide what is/isn't acceptable to post, if you don't like what is posted, ignore it!

@Winston, I'm only commenting vis a vis the strawman arguments that @Bob is referring to

@the trainbasher we don't want anymore comments that could provoke an argument & no comments regarding the locking of non bus/train related threads

i thought the aim of a forum was to encourage debate, which is what I was doing, debating a point! And I thought I'd only mention about threads you might have overlooked

@the trainbasher There's debate and there's stiring..... The forum is a source of info, if you want to debate everything to death try a politics forum instead - discussion closed!

I don't normally moan about Arriva but i think this warrants it:

As i just boarded 4204 in the 74 from Stafford, going to Cannock, the driver said that child daysavers can't be issued during school holidays, meaning i have to spend £2.45 on a child single, that i can only use once, rather than being able to buy a daysaver that i can use multiple times for £4.10.

Why are child daysavers not allowed to be issued in school holidays? To me, at least, this seems to be a major error, as more families would use the buses, if child daysavers were to be valid.

I thought Arriva only issued Child Daysavers during school hols. Normal school day in Stafford and Cannock today so no child Daysavers would be issued today.
