Cannock Garage

[l.murphy123]

The driver on the 63 today backed into a bus shelter nearly injuring a few people. Something was said about it on facebook

Yes I was there... he went to the wrong stand (the old stand which is now for the number 2) and decided instead of looping back round or calling the passengers over to board there, he drove forward and tried to reverse into the correct stand. He nearly hit people standing outside the shelter for the number 1, then reversed and hit the 63 bus shelter quite hard. Everybody was shocked. If somebody had have been in the way they could have been killed. Luckily nobody hurt.

Any damage to the bus?

Part of something on the back (a camera I presume) came off but he bashed it back into place. The drivers were due to change over so the waiting driver did the right thing and looped back round the island and back into the bus station.

People who use Cannock bus station don't help themselves either just wandering round aimlessly.

Who said anything about wandering round aimlessly? The people who were nearly hit were waiting for a bus, if you look a few comments up.

No excuse for reversing into a bus stand though cos youre too lazy to go back out and in again

A fleet of Versa's would suit Arriva Cannock.
Modern stylish looking, cheap to run i'm sure Bob would love them!!

Versas are quite pleasant to travel on. Pretty smooth. I liked the 09 plates when they used to do the 891

I think Cannock should go full offensive and proudly display messages saying "we're cutting services because you don't use them", because obviously the message isn't getting across

I would love for this to happen. Better trying something new than slowly dying.

Its in perpetual decline and Arriva havent really done much to even attemot to arrest it
