Cannock Garage

Yes I have seen all these threadbare interiors. But I do and don't see the issue as even these slightly worn seats are still comfortable enough. But was it not mentioned that BN and his team would be sorting out a few repaints/refurbs this year.  First and NX do have some examples that are worse though.

I know its a Centro contract, but I cannot see the point of the 2 coming down Somerfield Road then turning left into Leamore Lane to go onto Bloxwich Road when there is no bus stops on Leamore Lane(in fact due to the positioning of the bus stops in that area, you actually lose 2 stops on the 2 anyway!) plus there is normally a queue at the traffic lights to turn right from Leamore Lane to Bloxwich Road.

Surely they should come down Somerfield Road, turn right at Kfc onto the other Leamore Lane & go into Walsall via Beechdale?

Have Have you seen BU03HRK Interior?  Much worse than anything  nx have...also nx are refurbishing 56/57 plates etc...Arriva are running 14 year old threadbare heaps.  One of the Stafford darts ( I'd say KWJ)  Was so repugnant inside that a passenger put a pic of the seat on their fb page!

Like I said I've used all these Darts and DAF's you refer to. I think its all abit over the top. Some are flat yes but most as I said are comfortable enough. The only one that I wasn't impressed with was 3706 at Burton. NX may have an ongoing refurb programme but many of the ALX's in Birmingham are cold, rock hard and crusty and this is the same opinion I had of many deckers prior to being refurbed.

BU03 HRK is not only threadbare mate but stinking....All the others were refurbished a couple if years ago but it's telling that the only one that stayed at cannock weren't!

I cant say I've ever smelt a seat squab before. But its a bus, it carries passengers so it will smell abit fusty.

[Bob]

Neither have I. ..The smell is apparent when you walk on the bus

[Bob]

Maybe they need a spare pulsar for Lixhfields/825

[ntw456]

[Bob]

Maybe they're getting new buses for the pye greens then

[ntw456]

[Bob]
