But of course ill get moaned at on here cos arrivaa are allegedly wonderful

Bob

Wasn't the 1 & 2 extended in the first place, to save money?


Bob

Not sure. I know the 1 has run to and from huntington for 3 years now and the branding still hasnt been updated to reflect this lol! But this is cannock depot...

Ive also heard that.  They are apparently running a service 22 from cannock to huntington.

I think also that the 75 is going to terminate at penkridge

Bob

There was a rumour about the 75 doing that before, and the 74 was going to be run with deckers. Never materialised though. Yea ive heard about the huntington route being brought back. Tbh I dont know why they dont just divert the 74A round the dog in tree estate hourly it might drum up custom and help keep it going as I cant see it lasting due to it always being pretty dead.

covlad27

I think if they do terminate the 75 at penkridge then the 74a will pick up as it leaves at half past the same as the 75 so in theory would take the stafford passengers

Bob

Itll need some bigger buses then wont it. Its an mpd quite a lot

covlad27

Yes that possibly would create a problem I cant see them putting new buses on the route

Bob

Ive heard there are more changes planned as well for september

Ive heard that the longford and shoal hill on the  2/2a will somehow be joined together creating 1 route leaving the walsall service to terminate at cannock

Another old dart drafted in. Cannocks just gonna be full of old nails soon. Wouldnt surprise me if they moved the 60/825 buses on elsewhere at some point or other :-p. Given that telford, derby, burton tamworth etc have had loads of investment In new buses ( yea they run some older ones but on a ratio sort of thing nothin like cannocks lol), would people think possibly that cannocks the least money making garage? Obviously after stafford
