Does anybody know what route 3798 is on today?

[Bob]

Rumour has it the bu51 darts may be going to wednesfield.  Id imagine theyre almost at the end of their working life though after years of being thrashed about on services they were never designed for. Theyll need a respray and re trim but that depends on if arriva would think it worth the expense.  Bu51 kwj is by far the worst the others not as bad but theyre all threadbare & pretty rough outside.

Thanks John. Knowing my luck it will be off by the time I've got across from Telford. Maybe my last three 61 plates will stay out for the night (3756 3759 3764)

Well the 26 I got from Hednesford got egged this afternoon, while turning round the island by Tesco (3795). I had just shut that window as well!!

I also noticed that on the map for the 26 inside the bus, the arrows had 25 misprinted on them (instead of 26)

[Bob]

Blimey. Kids eh? 3730 is sounding really rough and shaking at bus stops when idling it was struggling to get above 25mph on the 70 today :-(

[arrivaaston]

Of all the 1's its a 9 branded e200 on 33!! Just saw her leave cannock bus station

[Bob]

Maybe its been in for some repairs work

[Ck]

74/75 branded on route 62 hardly any passengers on board what a waste

[arrivaaston]

3730 and 3741 are both on 62 today, got a photo of 2141 on the 2 yesterday with 310 on the blind!!

Anyone know just out of interest why most of the B10s at cannock especially w109 ewu have really loud groaning turbos ( on 3619 its so loud you can't actually hear the Voith gearbox and you can hear it coming before you see it) and nx's dont? Is it that arrivas are not maintained as well?

[Bob]

W109 ewu broke down again in service apparently. ..a week after dumping a load of diesel at cannock bus stn.  Its broken down at least ten times in the last couple of months possibly more.  Is it the fans that whine or the turbps come to think of it?

[Bob]

I have to say though the 3617/8/9  are my favourite buses at cannock extremely comfy to travel on!
