Cannock Garage

This constant waffle about Arriva selling Cannock is completely without any credible foundation and really makes me laugh/bores me to tears. Please give it up now!! Arriva do not have any history or reputation for selling anything, quite the opposite.

If NX were that interested in running buses in Staffs they would be there already in numbers. They clearly have no interest whatsoever so you will have to pin your hopes on somebody else stepping in to provide some competition. To be honest, as we have said before, it is probably the case that nobody sees it as lucrative enough to go to the trouble or expense of setting up and getting into battle with Arriva over not much available revenue.

One occasion in about 10 years, and that was all about exiting Scotland due to the completely different conditions and regulation there and getting a very attractive offer. There were also several other complex incentives there. They do not sell off small parts of their subsidiaries right on the doorstep of their most lucrative territories.

Only time.will tell how well NXWM will do in Cannock once they start the work in September.  They could do well and decide to spread commercially in Cannock

Sorry to be a pain but which routes will NXWM be doing. One thing they should do is when the X51 journeys at peak time go to Cannock they should do a return journey as i did it before and had to pay lots for arriva 70 back to Wolverhampton.

[Bob]

Have they definitely got the tenders then? Is there any truth in the rumours about the X51 going all day??

For exactly the same reason any other operator would, to obtain profitable work?

[Bob]

Yea in the staffs area! Whats to stop them getting a foot in the door and doing a couple of commercial routes once they have? Theyd finish the 1 to walsall off if they competed

[covlad27]

As far as I know they will be doing 25 and 26 pye green circular, 2 to walsall and 33 to walsall

I think sundays and evenings

[Bob]

Ive heard there's some X51s in tge tender as well

What's to stop anybody doing it? It's just a few tenders.

As much as i would like to see the X51 extended to cannock i just can't see it myself.

Wish NX did the 70 so i could do Wolverhampton-Cannock with my NX pass ;)How well used were routes like the 351 and the 95*/A corridor used before?
