Besides being a depot, doesn't Cannock perform another function within Arriva as well?

It also does MOTs, I believe The Green Bus use Cannock for theirs.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

So who did Arriva's painting of vehicles then?

If it was Cannock,  what would happen in future?

Four more have now been added
3702/3/4 and 2748.

Pretty old age profile then.  By my reckoning the youngest are 2 of the Solos at 11 years and the oldest the Cadet 2748 at 18.  Apparently there are others coming from Centrebus, be interesting to see how old they are.

From what I've heard D&G have acquired a couple of 13-plate Enviros and a few StreetLites that are sitting at their Adderley Green yard, getting prepped for Chaserider

They'll certainly need a few in new livery for publicity purposes initially at least.
