Ah yeah your right, thought the 55 had a longer round trip. Noticed the 54's are allocated Solo's on a weekend aswell nowadays.

If I were them, I'd certainly be looking to cancel the 46 and potentially even the 51/51A too.

Yeah agreed really. I'm not being cynical but it probably explains why they're being humped off to another depot. The old, these services aren't making money, time to sell approach with the all money making services elsewhere. Believe they already done it down in Cannock. Arguably the 55 is going to be in big trouble when the ministry closes aswell since it duplicates Stagecoach / Metro services and I've never actually seen the 553/555 so wouldn't have a clue tbh.
