10S/38/42 will be merged and renumbered 55
Wow, that's interesting. Is there any hint at what this route will look like?

Also, unless I'm missing something 55 is quite random.

I wonder if the 25 will get merged into anything lol.

The 38 and 42 were merged before over Covid so imagine the 10S will be added on top of the previously combined route.

Will be interesting to see if the recently added Worlds End diversion will be retained.  

I'd say the 10 will remain as it is.

Yes looks like its mainly for the school children. But should also be open to anyone travelling between any 2 points on the service. Presently NX only ran Sundays.

Quote from: MasterPlan on November 28, 2022, 10:54:53 AMLooks like not only the 48 has been cut back to West Brom - QE but the service level as a whole.

https://legacy.wmnetwork.co.uk/plan-your-journey/find-a-timetable/#/route/cen_33048_S_H_y11_29-29
I'm hoping the Sunday service is an error. Last service of the day from West Bromwich is 3 minutes to 5 :embarrassed:

Evening and Sunday services on the 89 completely withdrawn. So no direct services on Sunday evening between West Bromwich and Queens Head.

Evening and Sunday services on the 3 also completely withdrawn. So no direct services from Portway to Oldbury, Merry Hill, Blackheath and West Bromwich

No evening services on the 46 or 47 either

These cuts are very... interesting. They don't directly affect me anymore as I drive or get the train these days, but... wow

No evening services on the 46

The Mon-Sat Evenings & Sundays on the 3 are tendered, a tender was issued for this to continue

The 46 Mon-Sun evenings is also tendered, a tender was issued for this to continue

There is no point everybody trying to second guess what the changes are post 3/1/23, tenders are still being awarded.

I haven't second guessed anything. All I mentioned was the 48 for which the timetable has been posted. I don't know whether the withdrawn sections will be awarded.
