The big green bus company pulled out.They have a massive high court bill to pay after trying to get schools to pay more for them to take kids to school.They lost.

Post by: PeterWithesShin on August 29, 2013, 12:16:05 AM: AV1 is the Tamworth bus and the only one that still runs.

Post by: jcsutv on August 29, 2013, 08:37:05 AM: Thanks for clarifying that PWS. My Dad relied on the AV2 to get to games last year. It's a shame they have stopped it as it was usually 3/4 full and very convenient.

I know they have been hiking up the prices for KE Aston which have doubled since my lad started and he is going into the 6th form this year.

They are however still running a single service for the shit (from Sherlock Street to the Sty I think). The Villa Tamworth service is no operated by Arriva I believe.
