The fact that they didn't use it says it really about what people claim they want and what they actually want.

No wonder no-one listens to the people anymore in bus changes 😂

did the route get withdrawn at the same time the 88/A/B did or was it withdrawn before

According to VOSA, 88/88A/88B were withdrawn from 2014, 12/X12/72 was 2012 (although another registration is still active for the latter for some reason).

where did the 72 service go

where did the 72 service go

72 was a continuation of the 12. So it was 12 from Telford up to Penkridge (I think), then 72 to Cannock.

Did the 12 serve the following villages Wheaton Aston, Bishops Wood, Brewood and Coven

Not sure but it was a ridiculous long route. NO ONE would sit on a bus for an hour and half ftom Cannock to telford  it was insane

I believe so - Wheaton Aston, Brewood and Coven at least sound familiar.

a telford route that goes through most of the villages on route is a daft idea. why would the villagers from wheaton aston etc want a service to Telford, I mean they already had a sort of regular service to stafford wolves and perton. wasn't that enough for them

Yes, the 12 served Lapley, Wheaton Aston, Bishops Wood, Brewood and Coven.  Knowing someone who is originally from Wheaton Aston, the people there were only every interested in going to Telford it seemed for shopping.  But not often enough, sounded a bit like petty to me as I heard the old people then didn't want to use it because (shock horror) the younger people from the area also wanted to go to Telford and the oldies didn't want to share their bus with them.  You couldn't make it up.

I bet Arriva where Pissed off when hearing this excuse after so much anticipation went into incorporating this service. TBH Doesn't today's society want the young and the elderly to bond a bit more aswell.

Well given the fact there's no bus service in today's society, it won't be happening anytime soon 😂

There is a service the 877/8 by select

Don't know the area so wouldn't know. But I was meaning more in terms of there being no 12/72/X12.

Elsewhere, does anyone know if 2702 has moved from TF to CK, following the arrival of 2730/1/2 from TF?

I don't Know TBH
