Cannock Garage

[Bob]

Possibly the only one that doesnt come complete with a filthy threadbare interior.  Am I right in thinking that with the departure of V338 MBV and S351 YOG To the scrapheap and S629 KHN moved elsewhere that X523 GGO is now the only cannock dart that isnt an MPD?

[arrivaaston]

2361 is to Wardles, 2351 has returned to Cannock and is undergoing repairs but 2315 is the only dart at Cannock in use that isn't an MPD

[Bob]

Good god 2351 is a absolute nail. Belches out black smoke and is riffy inside.  I caught it on 62 once and all way from lichfield driver had to keep stopping and revving while stationary just to stop it conkin out. Another crappy bus on its way back to cannock then...

[Bob]

Most of the batch were withdrawn ages ago and s351 constantly kept breaking down,  it broke down on a traffic island not long ago and caused chaos lol....

With all those breakdowns, it sounds as though Cannock is crying out for a reliable bus service and Arriva could leave themselves wide open for someone else to set up in the town in competition with them

[Bob]

This sort of thing has been happening for MONTHS!  but if you dare to criticise you get shouted at aboutt how NX have breakdown's etc. Arriva in Cannock are disgusting.  End of. Lol

[Bob]

Youd only get this amount of problems if you had a crap fleet and/or dodgy maintenance

There are 8 different routes affected by breakdowns in one day alone, everyone has breakdowns but that seems a very high proportion based on the size of Cannock allocation. If they intend to continue to operate an elderly fleet carry more spares to reduce the amount of lost mileage / inconvenience to passengers?
