Hi, 

Not sure if its right to post this here but I am.

I have an important Event to attend tomorrow and I'm wondering if the 15A/16 Busses Will be running from The Cross, Kingswinford.

Many thanks.

New to This forum: Here I go!

I grew up travelling on the busses, and I've watched them go from Good, to Bad, To Pretty Rubbish.

I love national express West Midlands, and I travel on my local bus, the 15 (Wolverhampton-Merry hill) every weekend. But I've noticed It is always 5+ Mins late, sometimes no bus at all. The timetable has been cut, and its way worse than it was pre-pandemic. And when I go further afield on the busses, I've noticed the same thing. My nan will not stop complaining about the 529 being late  :wink: .

I Think the selling of Birmingham Central is an abomination, given its history. And The idea that a company should take over and reduce services is also awful, considering I know how much my family relies on the busses.

However, If having a different bus company (Stagecoach, Arriva or any other) Means that services will be restored to pre pandemic levels (Which would be Extremely hard) then I'm willing to give them a go, Because no matter how much I love the Red-White Tridents, Or the Comfort of the platinum's, I have to accept that the service is absolutely Dismal

Additionally, Unite should Accept NXWM's Pay offer and move on with life, as NXWM makes up very little of The company's profits. national express covered most of the trains in North-Rhein Westphalia (Western Germany) when I was last there, and I know they have other operations elsewhere. I think unite should stop, before they end up with NXWM in serious financial trouble.
