It is currently unknown if any Arriva vehicles are included in the sale of Cannock depot, but D&G Bus, part of the Centrebus Group, will be bringing back the Chaserider brand to the area. This brand was first established in the Cannock and Stafford area by Midland Red, under National Bus Company ownership. The brand was continued after deregulation by Midland Red North until 1992.

There will be no change to these services but Arriva Midlands will continue to operate route 5 from Stafford to Telford and routes 765 and X65 from Lichfield to Tamworth.

Purchasing Tramadol Matt Evans, Managing Director for D&G Bus said: ‘We will welcome all staff who would transfer as part of the recent acquisition of the Cannock and Stafford operations from Arriva. We are committed to building a new refreshing brand and we very much look forward to working in partnership with all stakeholders.”
