Only interesting if you're a student at either college!

I would assume that alternate provisions are being made.

529 now has earlier Sunday mornings journeys!

(Admittedly one extra each way, but could that make a difference to those of us who may struggle to get to work on a Bank Holiday?)

Also, why a separate Friday timetable?

Roads traffic conditions are different on a Friday to other days of the week, several other NXWM high frequency services already have different timetables on Friday outside school holidays.

Because the M6 is always a car park on a Friday afternoon/early evening

Are TfWm running behind with new timetable posters?

My nearest stop had its previous poster ripped out due to vandalism, so I reported it, so we never had a summer timetable poster either.

As yet, no new poster.

There is still stops in Bentley I believe with the Old Thandi leaflet dotted around and some that are still Yellow and Green. For a while the Timetable at Darlaston for the 79 was half a year out of date. It's been a while since I've needed to look at the timetable I know what time Buses I have but there used to be loads of issues I saw all the time
