Possibly with publicity along the lines of "we listened to passenger comments" instead of "we're sorry, we f***ed up"

Interesting. Presumably will follow its old route via Saltwells.

Are any of these changes to accommodate complaints from the withdrawal of the 297 between MH and Halesowen too?

The 53 change end of October is to improve reliability missing out the motorway island
No to the 297 changes on 289 in November

Great news, they should've never curtailed it in the first place. I was referring to the WB 89, which is having it's timetable amended, this route has been messed with a lot recently

Which way is it going then or is it the old route but with the changes in oldbury and old hill as mentioned by Karl?

I can't help but think with the South Birmingham timetable changes will be further reduction in running times. I think they'd do anything to save another bus.

All the NXWM 30th November Changes and Timetables here http://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/information/service-changes/black-country-service-changes-30th-november-2014/... hidden a bit on the website though! Quite a few changes to 289 in addition to the Merry Hill extension but new/more evening journeys too. :)

Would seem plausible. Good to see a decent service for the 289 back. Hope it holds.
