The Saturday service is Tendered & looking at the timetable even though I dont know the area I can see the 877 & 878 are designed to drop you off on the way back for the other route maximising the carrying potential for 1 bus

Could be fun on Tuesday if Perry Barr haven't altered their blinds by then as we may see BC showing 55 & PB showing 95 or could be vice versa

Foremans rd has been closed all week which may have delayed the flag alterations for the 36 & 41

That's what they said in their press release.
I wouldn't have thought it would have been commercially viable to run later.

It's not a core city service you know it's a rural service designed to keep rural communities connected which in my opinion & since it's been running so long it does well.
If you think you can do a better job then apply for your own discs buy some buses & give it a go yourself.

Select have a long history in this area with route knowledge going back to green bus days. I'm sure they know their passengers by now

Because when I was at school 8 mins was less the 10 minutes

The future of route 424 is still yet to be finalised by Tfwm, so I cant comment further at this stage unfortunately

No I have messed up and left them short  >:(

There goes that pension then @Tony

I note nx are now letting people know the partnership routes are coming to an end

@Tony the 96 changes along Hurlingham & Danesbury really need to identify they are hail & ride as unless you were a 604 passenger youd never know & the 96 needs to attract more than the 604 has ever carried along that stretch of road

@Tony nx are also guilty of not mentioning hail & ride sections on their timetables

@Westy bus companies are free to set up their own diversionary routes & do not have to follow each other.
Claribels and nx often differ when setting diversions on the 94 & invariably one operator finds a better way than the other & then the diversions end up the same.

Good assessment. I very much doubt there would be time to go to shard end shops its going to be tight as it is.
I fully expect there to be delays to the 96 route

New 96 tt is on the network west Midlands site

Mablethorpe have both a Land train & a Sand train (along the beach) connecting the holiday camps with the town centre. Both compete against the Stagecoach bus & the pirate bus
