NWM service changes page states that the 50's early morning journeys will be withdrawn from March 11th, Monday to Friday. Early morning would be 1AM - 4AM wouldn't it, so is the 50 losing its night service?

Not looking promising. West Midlands needs more night buses not less
I get that if people don't use a service then there's no point running it, but at the end of the day people don't use a night bus because for years there hasn't been one, and unfortunately much more expensive taxis are the only option

It would suggest still have weekend night buses ??

Yes, that's right the night bus will be weekends only.

Does that mean it will be like the number 9 just weekens only it should become the 50N

Saturday and Sunday mornings only, so yes it will become like the 9.
No need to change the service number, there's no variation between the route at 2AM and during the day.

Great bus! 👍

4130 was on the 18 earlier, not sure if it's still out.

4130 seems better than 4181. But I think 4181 is much quicker. Besides the diff/retarder being abit loud on it when it slows down, its not a bad bus

4130 was out on the 76 earlier.

4568 on the 35, if anyone's interested.

4614 on 49E, is this a loan?

So basically missing out the top end of Selly Oak. That's a bit of a shame as some some useful connections will be lost, including connections with the Outer Circle. But that Selly Oak triangle is a pain in the backside for traffic.

I maintain it should go the other way, come to Selly Oak via Raddlebarn Road and leave Dawlish Road etc to the 84
