Yes, the 1 was TfWM subsidised but as they only have a finite amount of money to go around they aren't going to support every possible journey situation especially as mentioned above there are plenty of alternatives that involve a change of bus.

Think the photo may have been one of Diamond's fleet?
While strictly just over the Warks border Coventry & W. Mids Mayor are key stakeholders

I hear that massive site expansion is being discussed so good public transport will still be necessary to Coventry rail station.
From Clifford Bridge Rd direct bus services to the station have been decimated by Birmingham based TfWM.
Examples
585 (85) had a 30 min frequency but no longer goes to the rail station.
1 (Diamond) used to serve the rail station. Service canned.
17 used to serve to station but no longer.
As I say it will be interesting to see what happens next?
Quote from: JPC on December 08, 2023, 06:44:24 PMYes, It seem NXC keeps agreeing to short term extensions with all operators not willing to bid.There's no bidding as such like a Tender as it's a private contract issued by Ansty Park themselves.
Is there implications or reluctance from other operators in regard to ticketing with Ansty Park apparently being outside the nBus, Network and PlusBus zones?.
Stagecoach could cover the route by extending the X17 from the City to Ansty Park which may reduce the overall mileage and be more reliable.

Quote from: Ash on October 16, 2023, 05:23:22 PMNew 4/4H timetable from 5th November in partnership with NXWM. Looks like diamond will operate the 4H and NX 4M and share the 4s between West Brom and Walsall. Combined frequency of every 5 mins between Walsall and West Bromwich
Quote from: Rachvince53 on September 28, 2023, 08:07:31 PMThe £2.70 is government funded I think. I seem to recall that it was stated back in about June I think that the government funded fares would be increased to this amount in October.The funded capped bus fare is going up to £2.50 from the 1st November 2023 and will last until 30 November 2024.
Quote from: 2206 on August 28, 2023, 08:58:27 PMI wonder what will happen with the old platform at Snow Hill, it looks very neglected these days.The plan is to reinstate Platform 4 at Snow Hill for rail use so this will see the site of the old tram platform swept away.
