Interesting indeed, I assume the buses made surplus off the 124 are being re-deployed on this route ?

I'm not that familiar with the area so not sure where Woodside is but is this going to be an express service or just a limited stop service with an X in front of the number. I think it would be a good idea to introduce a non stop service between Merry Hill and Dudley with it stopping at just a couple of stops around the Waterfront and the one before the bus station in Dudley. As most people on the X96 stay on the bus from Dudley to Merry Hill and vice-versa.

In a way it sorta completes a link that was removed in the Dudley Network Review of 2008.

Its confusing because the X suggests a limited stop service, however the service type is normal stopping?  :-\

They seem to be copying Pensnett's Mercs with their fleetnumbers ;)

So will Hanson's X26 not be in direct competition with NXWM's X96 then?

Presumably, but never really had Hansons down as a company that were up for competition, they have their own unique routes and from what I can gather a fairly loyal customer base.
I suppose it does depend on the route it takes, but I imagine if it was literally just Merry Hill to Dudley they could run a decent 15 minute frequency with just the two buses from the 124
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
