New Routes

[Trident 4609]

I was wondering when the 560 is withdrawn and 19 extended to Wolverhampton Will it serve New Cross Hospital Grounds or go past the front gates (Like the 560). Also will it do a loop of Wolverhampton City Centre or stop in the Bus station.

Will the 19 be timed to operate a combined 15 min frequency between Bloxwich and Wolverhampton with the 89 as with current timetable on the 560 means it is just behind the 89, the 560 runs empty most of the time and the 89 picks all the passenger up!

I read on here that Wednesfield are gaining more ALX400 DAF DB250LF from Thurmaston? (I think) for the 19 service. Will the 19 service really need double-deckers?

Hopefully if its times right then yes deckers would be great

According to a new NWM New Cross leaflet I picked up today, it does go into the hospital site.

Deckers? But the 560 is dead what makes them think theyll need deckers

[Westy]

Is the new 19 going to be the 'flagship' route of Wednesfield depot?

They have put deckers on the current 19, but most of the time, its singles plus an odd Solo.

Flagship with V reg deckers sounds about right for them

As long as they are low floor, I doubt Joe Public will notice.

Any chance of Arriva doing a 'Black Country Bus Guide' to promote, seeing they did one for Walsall a couple of years or so ago?

(In fact, do one covering the South Staffs & Black Country combined!)

I dunno id imagine joe public would notice the difference between say a nx t reg spectra and an enviro 400/b7l gemini?

Maybe, but I don't think they are bothered with the difference as long as the bus gets them from A to B.

Arriva did do a Walsall service guide when they started the new services such as 8A etc. guide would be brilliant and also noticed that there was an arriva inspector at Walsall bus station, sounds like a good step forward!

[Westy]

Wheres the online timetable?

Who do they think they are?

NWM !

[Trident 4609]

The timetable for the 19 has appeared on bus stops in wednesfield

[NXWM Spectra]

Seen an old ALX200 Dart and a Marshall Dart and A SOLO on there today. Obviously not very optimistic.

[Bob]

So for a brand new service they put possibly some of the very worst wrecks of their entire fleet ( 99.9% of wednesfielss fleet bar enviros are wrecks but p942 ems is poss one of the vilest) ....Arriva really know how to launch a service. Shocking...

I saw 4778 as well along with 2129 and some MPD's. Same allocation as before just more buses needed
