All you have to do is ask a driver on the 120, 140, 205, 241, 243, 244 or 276. They'll all tell you the same thing

So when is it 244 being extended then? Has another registration for the 243/244 gone in since the original was lodged on the 13th Jan?

The 99 is long enough already & the 244 already suffers delays in it's current form prior to arriving in Halesowen.

As the TfWM website tends to inform intending passengers of planned changes in advance rather than a few days before they change, it's quite useful to be kept informed  ::)

Who said that the 99 was going further than the hospital ?

You said 'the 244 might go somewhere else....' in reply to my comment about there being spare E200's which would be from end of Feb.

There is a route & timetable change registered for the 99 from 26.2.17, but TfWM service changes doesn't know anything about the 244 going any further than Halesowen.

£100! You're obviously not very confident.....

No point in doing this route training then @karl724223

To pressurise someone to move from the wheelchair bay is causing conflict.

National Express train drivers for conflict avoidance, therefore I won't pressurise anyone to move. I will continue to treat disabled passengers the same as any other passengers. Equal rights are equal rights..... No one should have priority over anybody else.

Was on 333X today got to the Homestead I thought the nearby comp finished at 20 past I was wrong. Because  when we got there This kid tried getting on the N bus  ticket but looked a NXWM Bus pass so the driver refused him on. This kid egged on  by  his mates started putting foot between the doors and punching the glass he finally booted the doors before the driver could leave but as we did this checky sod decided to ruin the painter and scratch it and poor LSV  down the side of it.
Thank god tomorrow I'm at work and getting the X51 or driving into Birmingham.


LSV = Last Standing Vagina ? @BusFan94 @karl724223  @Dom

Am wondering what route the 243 will take from Lyde Green to Cradley Heath Interchange, will it go direct or will it still go via Netherend & Dunn's Bank?

Personally I think it could go direct and the 004 get diverted instead, meaning people will still have a direct service to Merry Hill??

@Stuharris 6360 from what I've been told, it'll be exactly the same as it is now to Quarry bank, then turn right and go to the train station instead of merry hill.

I heard they were withdrawing the 244 loop because it picks up a lot more people than the diamond 4H............

Do people really think that NX wouldn't cover the loop with another service ? (Not the 99)

and according to the email, the 243 is Dudley - Timbertree- Dudley? Is this just a mistake or is it being curtailed to.

Saying that it says the 99 goes from Birmingham to Marston Green via Lea Hall station, take it that is the 97.

Dudley - Timbertree - Cradley Heath Interchange

Passenger loadings suggest otherwise

Perhaps people should sit on the seats instead of standing up when there's no need.......

word has it trees down bridal road been cut back but nobody been down there to risk asses it even though tridents have been on there

There's no problem with trees, the trees in question hit the windscreen of the B7's if you're in the wrong part of the road. You just make allowances like a professional driver such as myself & sometimes you @karl724223  8)
