2721 is reported transferred here in place of 3756.

Not quite, 3756 has gone to Telford due to a pvr decrease and 2721 is on loan to Cannock to help with Volvo repaints.

Why didnt we just keep 3756 then?

3908 is on the 1/2/2E today.

3912 broken down in Cannock bus station with engine flap up. Just out of interest what type of gearbox to these Volvos have fitted

Just saw 2370 on tescos

BWD isn't too bad considering how hard it's been worked over 11 years

Bob · April 08, 2016, 03:05:20 PM

Looks like 3906 might be knackered too. Parked on delta way with hazards on with two arriva guys at it.

That should say 2376! I was on 2374 lol! 2378 is also here on 70.

Thought there was a pvr decrease? So unless four buses are in use elsewhere?

Nothing is actually 'here' please remember Stafford don't have a fleet of buses anymore only Cannock does so anything can turn up anywhere.

Bob · April 09, 2016, 08:58:49 AM

Yes but those Darts normally run from the operating Base in Stafford and only on Stafford services

Bob · April 10, 2016, 09:44:07 AM

Are the 1 & 2/2E turning a profit now or will the Streetlites be the next vehicles Cannock can't afford to run....Lol

As I've said to Arriva on their Facebook, why can't Cannock keep the newer vehicles, as the older ones will need replacing eventually.

National Express don't swop vehicles round for financial reasons, do they?
