Yea the voith B10bles, the centros are ok great legroom ( pity theyre not on volvo chassis) the alx300 b10bles all half decent. Darts are the pits followed by the route 1 buses and older pulsars just sound knackered

[Bob]

What with recent transfers from Wednesfield to Telford, I don't think these are headin there now, in other news Arriva Cannocks "New" buses are going to be refurbished streetlites from Arriva Southend according to a driver and certain drivers will be going to Derby for "sapphire training"

Id heard that too but then the streetlite buses cannock are getting are listed as part of arrivas new bus orders so...

[Bob]

Had W107 EWU in front of me at the traffic lights earlier sounding dreadful, screeching brakes and spewing out loads of black smoke...maintenance standards haven't improved lol

[Busman Jamie]

That's all 3 knackered then, soon to be gone anyhow along with 3606/8/9/10

Ah yes the expert mechanics who have both examined all of these vehicles over the pits and have full access to their mechanical history and records have declared them unfit and condemned. With such expertise available at the mere click of a button, it's a wonder Arriva spend money employing a fleet management team atall?

I thought darts were going? ???

[Bob]

Well Andy their "fleet management" team cant seem to ensure certain members of the fleet go even a week without breaking down. ...

[Bob]

Why do you hate the Volvos so much though jamie? Lets face it quality wise they are ( or should be if maintained properly) far superior buses to any dart/daf/vdl rubbish

[Busman Jamie]

I have never the liked the alx300's even when I rode them all at leicester

[Bob]

Good solid reliable buses lol. Rather be on a volvo than an old dart anyday. The absolute pits

[Bob]

So with 9 streetlites coming and four deckers,  13 buses should be leaving cannocks fleet.  Wonder what they'll be. Im hoping so.e of the volvos stay, they're repainted look smart and largely refurbished.  The darts havent been resprayed are threadbare and very knackered.  Hmmmmm maybe the current route 1 buses will move on or even the stafford pulsars

You'll be suprised what goes when 4201-4204 turn up!

[Bob]

I take it its none of what ive listed above?  Are they exclusively for the staffords these four deckers or will they find work on other services too?
