Presumbly if they did that, they might further reorganise & put Shrewsbury & Telford as part of Arriva Wales!

I suspect NX might get involved further with the routes from Cannock & Hednesford south back into WM county as they'd be the next nearest to run without too much messing about setting up new operatng bases, unless Cannock was retained as an out station?

According to the Driver training guy who was watching the driver of the X51 Wednesday morning the X51 might be coming into Cannock hourly! That was he said they were hoping to be doing

If thats the case, they will be slightly short of Platinums at Walsall surely if the PVR increases unless any can be nicked from elsewhere?

Doubt Cannock would be retained. It's the one serious tangible asset that Arriva have got round here. They will want to maximise their returns so my guess is that will be sold to a developer as it's a prime site. Given Cannock's marginal profitability the most logical outcome as I see it is for NXWM to take a chunk of it by recasting services from Walsall/Brownhills & Wolverhampton. someone like D & G perhaps might end up with Stafford & Rugeley with perhaps Midland Classic or Central Buses taking on some of the Lichfield corridor. I doubt Arriva will remain in Cannock much longer

How long dya reckon before they do one? Stafford services are dwindling away and a lot of Cannocks routes must just about break even. I can see more cuts coming. Where else but Cannock would a route get cut after being sapphired?

Bob

61 maybe...71...75...or cut 74 back to hourly or the 2 they're all pretty dead

Dunno Bob, but I don't imagine it'll be too long. Arriva's German parent company clearly want them to maximise profitability hence their current tendency to gravitate resources towards their most profitable areas. Cannock's gradual downgrades are clear evidence of this, add to that the rumours that appear to abound and the significant financial asset that is Cannock garage then it will I'm sure be sooner rather than later. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that some sort of negotiations are going on in the background somewhere though I hasten to add that's just my opinion.

What are the "main" routes in Cannock then? The Ines that wouldn't get axed?

Jesus if you didn't post so much stuff repeating yourself on 5 different threads and asking questions that don't need asking it wouldn't be an issue
