Quote from: Stu on July 01, 2025, 03:50:12 PMThe 46 and 46A combine to offer a 30 min frequency at present between QEH and Hawkesley. As TfWM will only be subsidising part of the route - with the rest of the 48 being mainly commercial - its more 'operationally efficient' to just extend the current 48 at its 20min frequency.
they're subsidising the northfield to hawkesley section right? or is it the entire section from the QE/weoley castle downwards

Quote from: MasterPlan on July 01, 2025, 02:30:06 PMGotta say I am a little surprised at the new 48 timetable from 20/07. Showing buses to Hawkesley every 20 mins. I figured it might be every 3rd journey would extend, providing an hourly service.

Is there really a demand for that frequent a service?
