Does anyone have any ideas what the changes to the 004 are going to be?

The 276 registration between Dudley and Stourbridge looks interesting!

Just one trip before the bus goes onto the 24

I note the 228 is being extended to Russell's Hall which is interesting.

Can they still do it with just 2 buses?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Based on a back of a envelope calculation I reckon they could possibly if the use the Holly Hall route and cut the layover time at the various points. It'd be tight though

Those calculations also take into account of it not running via Wallows Road or High Oak

Thanks Tom, have to see what the timetable says.

@the trainbasher now have had a look at it in comfort, it could be done but as you say it will be very tight.

If it were to follow the X10 route, it would only take a minute more to get to RHH theoretically than go to Brockmore, although we all know what traffic around RHH can be like at times.

There is a bit of spare time in the 228 current timetable as it is given 13 minutes to travel from Brierley Hill Library to Merry Hill Centre and then load ready to leave for Stourbridge.

Thanks for that, was wondering if there was going to a bit of competition, but obviously not!

It could be, i was told by a driver that it's one full trip before the bus goes onto​ the 24

I see the 004 is being increased to every 30 minutes again with a route change in Harborne. Any ideas what amended route will be?

From what I had seen, the 004 did seem to lose passengers to the 142 once it was reduced to hourly so although I hoped the frequency would be increased again, it's a nice surprise that it is happening.

I hope it serves Welsh house farm estate and doesn't serve Blandford Rd. Since, 636 was withdrawn that end section of Welsh house Farm Road back in mid 2010, OAPs weren't happy about it and later, I've read elsewhere there was a petition to reinstate it. Also, I remember few years ago when Blandford Rd was closed for 2 weeks, it served that end section and from my observation, especially in the morning there were really good loading. So, yeah, I'd be happy if that happens and I am sure OAPs would be too.
