Arriva are pulling out of bus operations in Cannock, Jo.

Your local routes are going to be taken over by D&G Bus. I hope they've modernised a bit in recent years, otherwise be prepared for an invasion of smokey old bangers!

Be prepared for!?

Smokey old bangers are all that Arriva have been running round these parts for decades.

I’ll take that as good news, anything can be an improvement on Arriva. Their mechanics have a truck almost permanently on stand by in the bus station and if it’s not there it can usually be seen towing a broken down bus along the A34.

I went to get a bus in Stafford last year, it didn’t turn up and when the next one came 30 minutes later the driver apologised and said that they’d had 8 buses break down that morning.
