So the rumour is that Cannock are loosing the streetlite sand gaining 52 plate commanders 3701-3704

Surely 3701-4 are absolute end of life vehicles?

But surely if they are maintained right over the years they should not be 'end of life vehicles'

End of life means when the owning company has written the book value right down.

However well you maintain vehicles they still start to become a lot more expensive to run as parts get more scarce and major componants wear out.

This is Cannock garage we're talking about. Have you seen the state of the fleet?

Pretty sure it was replaced after leaving Tamworth. There's some centres coming up from southern counties apparently to join 3702-3704, 3701 won't be arriving as it's knackered

All the above intended for Cannock? And to replace the Streetlites?

Although the Streetlites are truly dreadful
If that is the case what could be said to describe the 1 and 2 Sapphire. I think like pretty much everything else at Cannock the words "a success" could be easily ruled out lol

Got the 23:20 number 60 from Lichfield today really surprised how busy ot was. About 12-15 people from Lichfield and people hopping on and off round chasetown. Only me and another guy got off in Cannock, and he was meant to get off in Burntwood but fell asleep.. oops...

Does anyone know where the streetlites are going?

Vulcan

Streetlites off to Milton Keynes I believe

Bob

Simon said recently they were sourcing extra Sapphire vehicles for the 1 and 2? So presumably the upgrade 5 years ago failed miserably then?

Vulcan

There are some 57 plate Centros which were split by Shires & Southern Counties being divided
May be on way up
