It is a while since I last visited but I was passing through on my way to Sutton Coldfield (see Blogs dated 12th. February 2016 and 27th. March 2016) and it was too good a chance to miss.
My first impression was that ‘Blue Diamond’ have been replaced on the local services by ‘Midland Classic’ who seem to be quite busy in the town.
‘Central Buses’ from Birmingham also made a strong appearance.
Arriva Midlands however continue to be the major operator.
Lichfield’s place on the tourist map because of its Cathedral always guarantees the odd coach or two.

The operator has cleverly worked the 55 route number (which serves Tamworth) into the ‘Expre55’ branding.
There were a couple of ‘National Holiday’s Setra’s in town but their positioning in the sunshine made the conditions a lot less than ideal.
