Leicester changes?

[Bob]

This is my ideal Cannock Fleet obviously you will all have a good laugh lol

Route 1 3727-3731 (Refurbed)
Route 2/2a 2731/2732/2735/2736 (Refurbed)
Route 23 Optare solo (preferably W from Derby the YJ11 OH* range)
Route 25/26 (Every 30 mins) and deckered
Route 31 Commanders or Centros
Route 32 Commanders or Centros
Route 33 Commanders or Centros
Route 60 Deckers (Send 825's back to Stafford)
Route 62 Deckers
Route 68 Commanders or Centros
Route 70 Commanders or Centros
Route 74 Deckers
Route 75 sb200's (If the route was to terminate at Penkridge)

What do other people think Cannock should do?

I think route 62 & 75 would be fine with Solo's, and route 1 should be extended straight up the A34 to Birmingham. 68 would probably be ok with Solos too.  Reduce the 70 to hourly & decker it.

Good luck with that! Somebody will wake you up shortly!

Arriva used to use deckers on the 62 and and 70's before and there's no harm in using deckers on the 560 as travel used to use branded deckers

[Bob]

Yea thats true but the 62 barely gets any customers nowadays. Same with the 560, in fact id imagine that could transfer to Wednesfield. A dart or solo would probably be fine for it

[jarh_9394]

Yea thats true but the 62 barely gets any customers nowadays.

How do you work that one out?

[Bob]

Cos Midland use Solo's on it and they dont even get full and prior to that Heartlands ran Merc 811d minibuses!

[arrivaaston]

True bob I used the 560 the other week, it was 36** and it wasn't even half full

[Bob]

I think the 560 will go at some point. They need to have a review of the Cannock services as well

[arrivaaston]

True Bob, as you said the 560 could transfer to wednesfield, I'm actualy suprised they didn't change it when hill top garrage opened and had it running from there

[jarh_9394]

Cos Midland use Solo's on it and they dont even get full and prior to that Heartlands ran Merc 811d minibuses!

Don't they?

Do you really think we'd operate the service for as long as we have (and even acquire it in the first place!) if it's a dead duck?!

[arrivaaston]

Fair comment but you have to admit its not a really busy route its proberbly due to the fact that it interconnects with 68's and 70's that it gets the custom

Yea cause its Midland and half their services are dead ducks! Any bus service that can go from a previously hourly often double decked, then to a half hourly full sized bus service and end up as a bloody SCC subsidised route operated with Solos i would say is a dead duck. End of. Same goes for the 810! Midland are hardly big fish, and look at the fleet

[arrivaaston]

Only use their solo's and there all clapped out to be honest back to the subject of leicester, if there having the 36** back they've got their work cut out, they all need summert doin, particularly 3609 and 3610

[Bruce_LOA400X]

well considering this is about Leicester I don't recognise half of those routes or half of what anyone is on about.....

i set up a thread for leicester because AMR and cannock etc have their own discussions anyway....

Nevermind....  ::)

[arrivaaston]

Its the same as mos topics on here lol, it starts off and u can garuntee that cannock, stafford or other garrages get vrought into it lol, so are leicester definetley having the 10 V/DBC volvos back and will 3611 return from Wardles?
