Quick question time.

Anyone know the best way to Carol's / Big D in Cannock by bus from Bloxwich?

Looking at Arriva route map for Service 2/2a, it seems you have to get off just past the Delta Way depot & walk up to Longford Road & turn left, unless anyone has a better idea?

(Nephew has just got a temporary job there. It's  a start I suppose in the current climate! )

[Bob]

Get off the 2 in hampton st at the first stop.  Cross road and walk up to national tyres island and turn left and its there :)

Cheers Bob.

Or if you wantedthe most out of your day saver you could get on an empty 19 decker to new invention probably have the whole bus to yourself lol and catch a 68 to cannock getting off same place as you would the 2. Lol! Check timings tho as 68 is hourly :)

Are Cannock having 8 new buses this year for / 25 / 26 / all V / DBC are still at Cannock not gone are we hearing just rumours ?

My mate who works there has said there are new buses due but doesnt know if they are new, he heard they were second hand new from another depot.

Although I have heard drivers also saying they are expecting mercedes buses so who knows, just looks like they may be some fleet changes soon

[Bob]

Thats how poor cannock is mpds on arguably their busiest route! !

[Bob]

I thought the 33 was changing in October? ? Cant find anything in vosa n & p ( gov.uk site)

[Bob]

The 13.16 26 to cannock still not turned up on pye green rd, one of the usual breakdowns presumably? ? Lol

[Bob]

Yep it had broken down surprise surprise,  how do they manage to avoid getting done for the amount of services that dont  run due to broken down buses????

[Bob]

Another broken down bus on the route yesterday as well causing issues for passengers. Maybe its our fault and we should all leave an hour earlier to make allowances for the crap service provided?  32 broke down as well the other day. Yes I know buses do break down but ive never known it happen anywhere near as much as it does with arriva in cannock...

[Bob]

Well one of them broke down in service yesterday so I wouldnt think theyll last long full stop
