That's why I created a new thread, the April Centro tender changes are normally the last Sunday in April, i.e. Sun 24th April this year. I think April would fairly likely for the Dudley/Sandwell review to take place

It may be that 10th April is the end of the school holidays. That is a time when changes often take place.

@Liverpool Street - it looks as though there are further City Centre route changes / stop allocation changes. I haven't see the change to the 47 back to Cofton as per the newspaper article, so could well include that as well

@Winston - thanks. Hopefully the BR leaves via the U-Turn at Moor St Q.way again, although can't see it happening, as people don't want to work the few yards. Give these people a inch and they take a mile

not like anyone pays on there anyway ha ha make them walk

trouble is now the BR gets caught in City congestion - and PR + where both routes avoided it before , well , BR more than PR I admit but still. Also need to do something about this loading up in bound on BR , if that still happens, I suspect it does , people must have time to burn , blank off and tell them to cross sod it

I doubt that quite honestly - the bristol is set up well with the interworking and the terminus is ideal place at the moment. They will be maniacs if they change that

sure they'll lose more little precious revenue the BR achieves out in Frankley if they change it

I guess so as the 61 terminus is as it was when I first went that way on the old 64 to Northfield many, many years ago when I lived over that way. The 61/62/63 have always interworked well from WMPTE right through to NXWM as Frankley(Gannow)/Rednal/Rubery(Great Park) as well as now with the 61/63. I didn't think NXWM would change the routes like that @Liverpool Street I was being a little facetious with the comment I made as a reason for the route change possibilities

Only change to some of the NXWM services is reverting back to normal weekday timetable after the Easter Holidays from what I could gather from the NWM service changes.

An additional Saturday morning trip will operate on the Northwood Park Circulars in Wolverhampton.

Vast Majority of the Coventry amendments are just timing point changes...

The only change to the 10 is the 0624 from Bell Green which is 5 mins earlier.

A few school services (59 & FP2) have route changes.

It now says Bus to be reinstated along Springfield Road following consultation with Birmingham City Counci
it already uses Springfield Road but was going to be rerouted along Showell Green Lane. It would of missed out a lot of the traffic and parked cars on the Stratford Road, if it was rerouted along Showell Green Lane. Dose anyone know the reason it won't be rerouted now?

Showell Green Lane already has a bus maybe? When I drove the 5, there were loads of regulars on that route. Mainly old people past Sparkhill. The 5 was probably my favourite route. There were three regulars who would always give the driver a chocolate bar. I never took it and found it odd initially, but I was stunned to think people can be so nice lmao.

If there has been consultation with the council, then perhaps whatever concern NX had about Springfield Road is going to be addressed by the council.

Springfield Road was always very tight and regularly blocked by inconsiderate parking so it'll no doubt address that.
