Cannock Garage

Diamond have no interest in expanding as i've contacted them... whether they would takeover that is a different question. Rumours are they made two bids which were turned down. I've also contacted Midland Classic who have no interest in moving any further towards Cannock. NX really are the only alternative and I'd welcome them.

Who do you think would take over arriva cannock if there was an opportunity to do so

I'd agree that it could be NX, which is the most likely. Whether First are interested in expanding in Staffordshire, could be another option? (although the latter is more unlikely due to the decline in profits situation, if I'm not mistaken?)

First? Have you not seen the reports about First Group looking at all options  to make a major divesrment / break up the group & sell it off etc, etc

I haven't no; I'd only heard of something to do with them not doing so well and that was it - I wasn't aware of the extent of it. As I said before, it was just a less likely suggestion - not a definitive one.

Im sure the Cannock operation, with its history of innovation, investment, high standards of refurbishment etc would be an attractive,profitable investment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NXWM are taking over the number 10 / 10A Wolverhampton to Perton... not sure how significant this is as im not from that area.

Don't understand your comment there's a typo. The number 10 has an extra 6 journeys and will finish between 10-11pm rather than 6-7pm. They will also have Sundays. This is what Cannock needs.

I was stating that NX have won 10 A and 10B...it says so on website...

And sure Cannocks profitability would be greatly boosted by opening tje depot and running one Sunday service 😂😂😂😂

Are there any?

74?

Maybe 825? Used to be a busy route. I wouldnt imagine the 2, 61, 62, 3, 70, any of the Stafford locals, 63 or 75 make much if any money . Pye greens are so popular they couldnt justify 7 pulsars bought for them. So they had to make do with any s##t and are now operated, as an "upgrade" with buses from 2011 bought specifically to upgrade the 60/825 which now have anything incl old darts /cadets so maybe their earnings have declined with the rest of the operation

From what I've seen, 825 and 74 are quite full leaving Stafford whereas all the others that end are empty, including 75s.
