Biggest drop/contrast in frequency on a route in the West Midlands and beyond

[Trident 4609]

I'm not sure whether the thread has been set up before.

Another thread I have been meaning to set up for some time

Which route in the Midlands (I suppose if you can think of others from other parts of the country then that's fine too) has the biggest drop in frequency?

Eg NX WN 11 is every 8-10 minutes during the day Mon-Sat but on a Sunday evening its every hour

Also NX PN 9 is every 4 minutes at peak times but late night its every 30 minutes at night

The (WB) 42 is every 5-10 minutes (with Diamond) during the day and hourly evenings and Sundays. The 9 is every 4 minutes at peak times?

[trident4370]

I suppose the 97 is one of the worst, upto every 4 minutes at peaks, then hourly at night.

Looking at the timetable it is every 4 minutes morning peak and wouldn't surprise me If it was a tiny bit more frequent.

A route like the 9 you would imagine to be more frequent than WN 59 which is every 4 minutes between most morning peak trips.

Anyway back on topic WN 2 is every 6-8 minutes Peak times (8 minutes during the day) and half hourly evening and
Sundays

WN 3/4-Every 15 minutes Mon-Sat Daytime. Hourly on Evenings/Sundays

Looking at the timetable it is every 4 minutes morning peak.

There is probably the odd journey that is 4 minutes before/after the next/previous, but at peaks gaps are generally 5/6 mins

Every 9 minutes max in peak, then half hourly at night - 45/47. That does make it every 15 along the Pershore Road itself which is disgusting in my opinion. I've always been against that timing.

Why?

[Westy]

NX 301 - Every 6 minutes during the day, then drops to half hourly at night.

(Admittedly helped by the 302 between Walsall & Bloxwich at night, combining to every 15 mins)

[Sh4318]

Surprised the 37 hasn't been discussed, every 5 minutes during the day (same frequency as the 50!), every 30 minutes during the evening

[nitromatt1]

The 44/C (Worcester - Powick - Malvern Link - Great Malvern) is an interesting one, running every 10 minutes during the day Mon-Sat, then down to hourly in the evening, and hourly Sunday daytime only.

[the trainbasher]

226 from every 15 to every hour

[vinh1000]

46 every 15 then to every 20 then to every 30 then to hourly at nights

Why?

You do realise how busy a half hourly 45/47 is at that time of night? Good luck getting a seat which isn't half-occupied by a crackhead

Tbh I am very surprised WN 59 still has a 9 minute frequency up till 8 then a 12 minute frequency till end of service!

That is an excellent frequency. What time is the last and first buses?
