Cannock Garage

NX or other rumoured purchaser would not want Cannock site
Far to expensive & to big for any operation nowadays
Built as a 100 allocation garage far to big

Thanks.

Looks like I can get an 'extra' bus on Monday & Tuesday morning,  as Nx are on mainly Saturday service,  but not on the Friday 27th.

Off work New Year week.

3743, 3760 and 3795 working Walsall to Rugeley Trent Valley rail replacement today. Presumably 3760 and 3795 are on loan from Tamworth for the work.

One of the 54 or 55 plate Darts was being dragged along the A513 between Milford and Stafford at around 5:30 yesterday.  Too dark to see which one.  I assume the Coach Aid guy was going to take it the Weeping X junction with the A34 then off to Cannock

[BusMan Greg]

2740 was on the 70 this morning

[Busman Jamie]

2740 was on there yesterday aswell
