It was suggested elsewhere here that the 636 could be curtailed at QE Hospital, then just extend the 84 from the QE along the old 636 route into Birmingham, and maybe introduce short 84E from the City to the QE or even Selly Oak, as the whole route wouldn't need an increased frequency.

That would solve the problem of the B6LEs currently being used on the 636 being unsuitable for the new emission requirements, as well as improving the 636's reliability issues. Then Bournville gets a direct link to the city centre.

Apart from one thing, where would the buses come from that would be needed for the extra PVR on the 84

Most of NXWM/CENTROS bus reviews are a disater to Passangers at times as they are confused on were there bus is going or were it has gone, wether it still serves ?????, but people get used to it and as soon as they get used to  it they change them again

Passenger numbers have been up after all the the Network reviews!

A few routes they havent 935 carries the amount of passangers the 993 used to, 935A many people use that as an Extra 935 journey nobody stays on to Rushall, becuase I travelled on it myself

Even if you're right, I wouldn't test Tony on Walsall routes as they are his specialty.

i am right, I live close to that route and use it nearly everyday  8)

OK then Nathan, tell me how many passengers used it per day before the review and how many after. What I know is that after the Network review passenger numbers increased on the network of routes.

By the way even on routes where I do know exact figures of passenger numbers and revenues/profits they will not be posted on here or in any public domain

The same amount of Passangers that used the 993 use the 935 i havent saw no passanger increase really on at peak times

how often did the 993 route run?
How often does the 935 run in the peak?

Thanks for clarifying Tony!

And here you can see the 'toothpaste' livery, without the silver stripes, fourth pic down:

Not forgetting another livery that never saw the light of day on the trident behind 1415!

Tony, the like to NXWM 1555 on 1554's page in not a hyperlink, just normal black text.

1554 page brought up to the latest standard

Yes, 1594 started life at WB before going to Pensnett, and on to Coventry from there

This was before I was born, but I would love to have been able to see things like this at work

The silver on the toothpaste livery isn't paint. it is silver sticky back vinyl, which is quite a skilled job to reapply, even if you can get some. That was the biggest problem with that livery and why it didn't last long

Hmm... Where do I start...

-The whole NX fleet in ONE livery, I don't care which, the whole fleet in one is good enough!

Anyone able to photoshop a NXWM bus in one livery?

Not quite sure that is what he meant (just one livery not many); but yes ONE livery might look good on a bus.

I don't think I have actually put any photos of trains in ONE livery on the main site yet

There are some on the main site at BC, none at Coventry though

Moor Street staff have now problem with photography, but you do need a valid rail ticket because of the barriers

End of argument or whole subject will be deleted

A photo of 4128 is on this site as well

(4th one down) The only bus in the fleet to carry 5 completely different liveries

Thanks, I have corrected the 1629 link, I cannot do anything with the Heartlands one. It was caused when Mike James sent me both photos with the same file name (photo_4) and I didn't notice so the second Photo_4 overode the first one.

The timetable is at
http://timetables.centro.org.uk/showtimetable.asp?file=2_a\14NXB#14
Even at 5am it takes longer than 30 minutes
If you want a 30 minute 14 post it in the fantasy section. Have you ever been along Alum Rock Road
