So the 3 is going to be Rugeley to Walsall not Rugeley -Brownhills then?
The new registrations plus the changes to the 530 look like tender changes

Not necessarily, DVSA very bad at amending their route description information.
That would be unpopular though , people in Norton would lose their link to walsall. The 33 used to be busy to be fair. Looks like arriva have messed that up too
I'm curious about the 62 cancellation. Very wishful thinking but don't suppose NX are having it back and putting it back to what it used to be?

Hopefully they do. Either NX will get it back or another route for Igo or maybe Diamond

Igo and Diamond weren't interested last year when NX wanted to get rid of the service, why would they change their mind 11 months later?

Someones got to run the service unless its completely withrawn?
Anybody now what's happening to the 10 A B
62/A has reached natural expiry. Outcome not announced yet. Any approved operator can submit a price.
10 changes are to aid reliability of the 10B school journeys, now renumbered 10S which also facilitates a couple of extra trips where there are gaps currently.

Odd its not on the list of the October changes, which are being implemented November 15th as mentioned above. List I have seen doesn't look complete as Walsall Community Transport 26 is not listed and I know that was a 52 week contract...
Some tenders were not released on the main sheet then as they were no doubt still up for tender
Wonder why they're curtailing the X70 already? Why have a massive network review then massively change things again 7 or 8 weeks later?

I've genuinely lost track of some of these services they've been chopped and changed so much. I also dread to think how much paper Arriva waste printing stacks of leaflets for services changed weeks later...
The network review obviously didn't work all that well lol

Ain't seen the 1 & 2 leaflet yet!
Indeed even I was just wondering now how frequently the services between Wolverhampton and Cannock seem to be changing. I'm lost so no doubt the passenger is too!

There were plenty of them in the Pavillions travel shop in Birmingham on Saturday, gawd knows why!

There are plenty of 1 and 2 timetabkes at their depot at cannock. I have been down and asked for one
Are the Nov changes still happening? Considering were almost at the end of October and theres like nothing on the buses advertising anything!

So exactly the same as supposed NX service changes then...

From what I have seen the 3 has a minor route change in Norton Canes and some timetable changes to 70/X70 and that's about it. No cutting of journeys to Brownhills or anything. Unless another change has been registered.
Yea the number of X70's is being reduced and the 70 is coming back in the day replacing some X70 journeys. X70 not been very successful then?
I thought the x70 was stopping in Cannock and the 3 was going through to rugeley

the 1 and 2 Leaflet is now available in the Walsall, Birmingham, Dudley and West Bromwich travel shops. As Arriva have now signed an agreement with Centro for Arriva to stock their commercially operated route timetables in all travel shops in the west midlands.

To be honest, I saw the 1 & 2 a few weeks back in Walsall.
Having Arriva's own leaflets would save money, when they operate the entire route/corridor.
Lets see when the Walsall / Cannock 3 changes to include the 3a journeys won under tender whether we would see Arriva's version only or the NWM one as well.

it doesn't it just says number of journeys reduced. The changes come in on two weeks and as of yesterday there's nothing on the arriva website! Or buses. So how are passengers supposed to plan

Well Traveline would be a good place to start seeing as the revised times have been on there since last week...
