Maybe theyre in the pipeline for Wednesfield

Who knows, they have been quite indecisive with fleet movements anyway, I still think the Major fleet shift around hasn't happened yet.

Also Leicester's fares are to go up 20p in december/new year as the company got fined by VOSA or something (I think I told you before but can't remember)

I hope its soon, the sooner the V/DBC volvos leave cannock the better, I can't stand them

Bob

So there still could be more coming from Leicester to Cannock, some decent Deckers fingers crossed, i can but hope....

Knowing arriva cannock will end up with 2340 - 2343 R340/341/342/343TJW or more mpd's (Y/YBC)

Most of the Y/YBC's are in Leicester at the Wigston depot and they are not likely to leave at all. they need them for the 86 and 87 routes to Eyres Monsell which has the odd tight corner, they struggle to get a commander around the route, they did try it on a few occasions.

Which might be happening anyway as we need more VLW's to displace the ALX 400's from wigston.

All of the VLWs are in service, and there was exactly the right amoutnto displace from Wigston what is to be displaced. Remember ALX400's 4785 and 4786 are set to stay at Wigston.

andy4014

Coming back to a question raised a few days ago, 2374 remained at Telford because Leicester only needed 6 of the Darts for the role they were acquired for, and as Telford had fitted new units to 2374 it seemed fair for that to be the one they kept. Originally 2372 was to be the one that stayed.

Can leicester hurry up and take
3601, 3602, 3603, 3604, 3605, 3606, 3608, 3609, 3610 and 3612 away from Cannock and send the rest of the 06 commanders down :)

Bob

Noooooo more crappy SB200s with their underpowered whiny engines and screaming Voith boxes uuuurgh. Is that definately whatll replace the B10s?

arrivaaston

I think so, I can't think what else could replace them unless the 30** volvos come to cannock?

Bob

Maybe some more Deckers? A couple for Staffords and if the 825 goes back to Stafford garage some for the 60? Another busy route thst single deckers cant cope with at times

arrivaaston

4 deckers for the 60
4 deckers for the 74/75
Then cannocks 61 plates can go, can't stand them, think there awful buses
