into Arriva Midlands

Bus services registered under the Chase Bus Services banner will end on

routes currently operated by Chase Coaches Limited.

To mark the end of regular Leyland National operations a commemorative 
day ticket will be available on Saturday 28 April offering the freedom 
of Chase Bus Services and Arriva Midlands bus services.

This special day ticket priced at £5* can be purchased from Chase Bus 
Service drivers on Saturday 28 April - or by post* (see address below). 
Duplicates will be running at specified times along most routes in the 
Burntwood, Cannock, Walsall and Wolverhampton areas."

It will be a shame to see the Nationals coming out of service, any other 
companies still operate them in regular service around the UK now?

I think the company that operates from Hayfield in Derbyshire to 
Stockport along the A6 has one, or did until recently. Can't remember 
the name of the firm though and I see them most days! Bowers or 
something. There is one parked up at Hayfield a lot. Don't know what it 
is used for. No way am I going over to ask the driver myself. He would 
think I was a sad bastard being a bus driver and a spotter. I keep my 
kinks to myself lol

They won't all be coming out of service this weekend, apparently 6 are
transferring to Cannock Delta Way garage for further service. At least
5 now have Arriva livery on the front of allover advert livery in
preparation for this.

former London Transport LS160 (THX 160S) celebrated it's 29th birthday
today being first taxed at Poplar garage on 26/4/78 and is the oldest,
to so far get Arriva livery

They won't all be coming out of service this weekend, apparently 6 are
transferring to Cannock Delta Way garage for further service. At least
5 now have Arriva livery on the front of allover advert livery in
preparation for this.

former London Transport LS160 (THX 160S) celebrated it's 29th birthday
today being first taxed at Poplar garage on 26/4/78 and is the oldest,
to so far get Arriva livery

It will be a shame to see the Nationals coming out of service, any other 
companies still operate them in regular service around the UK now?

I think the company that operates from Hayfield in Derbyshire to 
Stockport along the A6 has one, or did until recently. Can't remember 
the name of the firm though and I see them most days! Bowers or 
something. There is one parked up at Hayfield a lot. Don't know what it 
is used for. No way am I going over to ask the driver myself. He would 
think I was a sad bastard being a bus driver and a spotter. I keep my 
kinks to myself lol
