Ive heard today that Cannock is expecting 2 new deliveries of vehicles before christmas.

There will be a complete replacement of the service 1 buses 3701/2/3/4 which will be mercedes benz

Then there will be a fleet of pulsar 2 probably to replace the volvos and some darts

First I've heard of this, any official announcement or just driver gossip?

Will 3701-4 stay and be used on other routes?

I heard an inspector telling a driver earlier, the driver was saying ill believe it when i see them in the yard and the inspector said its definately happening they are being built for delivery before christmas.

I have to admit though I would br like the driver ill believe it when we see them at the yard

If 'some darts' are being replaced wouldnt that mean a decrease in midibuses? Cant see that happening lol

Dont know but could explain why they have not been refurbed.  Maybe there are new buses due to replace them only rime will tell.  Ive a mate who works at cannock ill ask him see if he knows

[Bob]

Still no sign of W107/8 EWU!!! jesus how long does it take to put a bus into service lol? S629 KHN has been on the 70/76 today so its venturing further than pye greens now. Bu03 hrk was on them too lookin a state internally,  odd how the other 3 were re trimmed a bit ago and they let that one go round in such a bad way

Any idea which darts will go? Hopefully Bu51 kwj its knackered!  The other four from the batch could possibly get away with a refurb. Maybe s351 yog/v338 mbv?

I've heard 2390 is now withdrawn, 3701/2/3/4 could possibly be branded for 2/2A when the "New" buses arrive

Is it just on loan to Cannock or transferred

[Bob]

On loan as they are temporarily surplus at wardle

Going to be interesting to see if any of buses that are going at Cannock end up at Stafford / Wednesfield

Well the only thing that would go to Wednesfield from Ck would be MPD's

Mpds? Theyd be for wednesfields busier routes lol. Hope bu51 kwn is a permanent transfer to stafford. The whole batch should go there and be exchanged for b6s or larger darts
