That's just the Cannock to Walsall 1 isn't it?

To be honest, isn't Perton out of Cannock's 'comfort zone'?

Isn't there no way Perton could be served by the Bridgnorth route?

That's what Choice did on it's Summer Sunday 888 route years ago!

To be honest even Pattingham could be served by a Bridgnorth route

If arriva want to be successful in the west mids region wouldn't it be worth them opening a new garage in the region. And actually make it work this time (Ie better buses, better reliability etc)

Why? Arriva are retrenching from the WM.

Until Arriva Group is under new ownership / re-floated on the stock market, it's likely investment will slow further.

The did that once, not too long ago. Opened a brand new garage in West Bromwich and stocked it with a brand new fleet of E200s. Not too many companies would do exactly the same thing twice after it didn't work the first

NXWM are increasing their frequency on the 10 to every 15 during rush hour and every 20 minutes off peak, so are more than covered.

The Chase/Midland takeovers were also complete disasters

True.

In fact, it was, wasn't it years ago?

Had a ride on one of those Sprinter things earlier between Bloxwich & Pelsall.

Nice looking bus, capacity just right for the route.

Dont think much of the suspension over the Leamore speed bumps though!
