Is the general day time service being cut to Brownhills  ?

Broken down Gemini decker in Lichfield bus station about 4.20pm today. Not sure if it was one if Cannocks or a Burton example

All 4 of cannock s were running so must have been a burton one.

It was 4212 and it was causing havoc. It broke down at about 10.00 and only got recovered between 4 and 5pm. Having had 3 visits from Burton's mechanics. Arriva should really never have dispensed with their recovery vehicles. They could have had that recovered back to depot, fixed and back on the road by the end of the day. Now it will probably lose another day.

To be fair Cannocks Gemini's break down an awful lot which is odd what with them being only 7 hrs old and B9s  generally not being known for being particularly unreliable

On the contrary. They have had constant issues with transmission more or less since new. I speak from personal experience of sitting outside Star City for over an hour with no gears when they were only just over a year old.

Not good then considering the 74/5 are Cannocks busy services.  Maybe replacement  with something more reliable  would be an idea

More complaints about how rubbish the review has made  Cannock  services again in this week's chronicle

We went past cannock depot today and saw a red hinckley solo. I think there was another one parked next to it too. Didn't see the registration, can anyone identify them?

No these are the same 2 that have been there for months and months. Nothing changed and not on fleet, never have been.

[Bob]

I cant imagine cannock using them for much
