Title: route links for the 41 and 69
Post by: leewhayward29 on July 25, 2015, 12:15:45 AM
I think the 41 and the 69 should be linked from lane head to new invention with a every 15 minutes to 20 minutes

41 Walsall to Willenhall via New Invention and Bentley and 69 Walsall to Wolverhampton via Beechdale, New Invention and Wednesfield

what does everyone think of the idea but i dunno if it would work?

And where would the 40 fit in?

@leewhayward29 What you're suggesting to have the 41 & 69 at combined 15min frequency between Lane Head (Bentley Lane) & New Invention Square, wouldn't work as the 41 & 69 follow different routes into New Invention, with the 41 following the longer route via the estate round the back of New Invention (think it's Allens Rough, but i'm not certain). This would mean that, even with both being timed perfectly on Bentley Lane, the frequency would be something around 20min:10min, rather than 15min:15min.

It was only a idea because I didn't know if it would work
