Sorry Bob don't know.

Ah no problem.  They seem to appear on most routes regularly apart from the 70. Where they're rare. Looks like the 70 must have had a decline in passenger numbers as it was always full sized businesses for years and now it's darts, mpd darts, versa and cadet in the main with the odd commander thrown in

[Busman Jamie]

The volys mainly appear on 74, 61/62/60/825

An old cadets and a Versa belching out black smoke on pye Greens today. Doing their bit for improving Arriva's image.  They had a fanfare in Cannock when the new pulsars were launched, investment,  improvement etc were the buzzwords.  Maybe they should do a downgrade fanfare using " This is how s##t we really are" lol
