The 70 seems to have regular darts and commanders on there now

The 70 has had darts on for ages and commanders?

Darts are the mainstay, it was previous Cannocks 'premium' collection, the 8 year old Pulsars, as the 70 was a popular inrerurban route and the Puksars were supposed to be more suited. With this in mind, about 6 weeks later these were swapped for Commanders, which were then swapped for Darts . It must be doing really well.

The Pulsars now seem to be all over the Pye Greens again this week, with nice threadbare Commanders on the interurvan Staffords, which previously had pulsars on due to being "interurban routes, and making the best of what weve got" or something.

I cant keep up with the cibstant allocation changes 😀😂

3303 is making an appearance on the 70 today if anyone is interested

Looks like 110 Sapphires on the 60 today for anyone interested 🤷‍♂️

[BusMan Greg]

Looks like the 61 is being withdrawn and the 62 is being shortened to run between Cannock and Cannock wood via Wimblebury. The 1/60's frequency is being increased to every 20 mins and half of the afternoon journeys on the 70 are being shortened to run between Cannock and Featherstone.

And if you didnt pick it up from the other thread, the 2 is rerouted from Leamore to go via Blakenall instead, in an attempt to siphon off mainly Nx 29 passengers instead!

(The end of bus services down Somerfield Road as well.)

It is a shame for that road but it's only a short walk to the other side or the pinfold where buses are < every 3 minutes in total.

I agree, but when I told my elderly mother about it, she said she'll have to get a taxi instead!

I'd of kept somerfield road, another bus on over bused Road

Number 2 will turn at the pinfold though. Long journey for Huntington users to Walsall, best swapping to the number 1 at Cannock.

I can foresee another change in a few months. Besides what was said above, you also compete with a fairly frequent NX 29 between Blakenall & Walsall. Even Diamond couldn't crack that one long term!

(You couldn't divert using the 19 route as that would be longer probably!)

Anyone in Coalpool & Blakenall looking forward to their bus to Cannock?

[Busman Jamie]

1&2 should just be Cannock to Walsall, number 2 using its current route and Huntington could be served by the 75A or divert 74 journeys to serve Huntington?
