I didnt think arriva would keeo them.  I think theyll lose the 62/68 at some point as well

There's a fleetlist on here for them and they got a good mention when they hired then bought some Darts feom Diamond and they keep breaking down. They currently only operate the 878 Wolverhampton to Stafford, and seems well used.

Isn't Select somehow related to Green Bus (as in Warstones Motors) & White Wings Travel after they had their licences revoked? Is a fleet of predominately step-entrance vehicles really an improvement for many passengers?

The step stuff left a month ago with it now being SLF apparently

even though its irrelevant, their 2 n....xdv darts were in good nick, didnt rattle or bang and gave a nice comfortable ride with their dp seats. even had a/c on too! the fleet according to the drivers is low floor with at least 3 with the existing one and purchases from diamond.

They may well be, but Arriva have become too complacent over in Cannock due to their position & lack of competition.

NX may well be testing the water with tenders initially.....

I meant passengers wont have to suffer them on the 2 & 33 lol. If Select run Darts on the 23 and 67 they will most probably have much better interiors and even if they break down they cant poss break down anymore than arriva's fleet. And re the comment above yep your right there Arriva have definitely become too complacent in cannock. Ok they bought 11 new sb200s but they spend half their time on the lichfield to stafford route so only really operate cannock to lichfield on one route and thats when they can be arsed to allocate. As for the rest of the fleet except maybe 57 plate sb200s, its dire.

Can only be a good thing to remind an operator they are not god! As I have previously said this would be even more wonderful in a place like the west midlands where there is a mutil operator ticket, however it Cannock there isn't so it does mean extra expense on ever more squeezed families! And if it is the case Select has got in good on them its good to see a local independent win something!

Dart S629 KHN now working from cannock seen on pye greens earlier. Looks like its had a refurb, hopefully its just temporary and intended for wednesfield
