Presumably timetables are still being finalised by operators as there's no information on many routes including those with new operators (eg Dudley 57) or timetables (eg Dudley 2).

I've been asked by a work colleague about the 17 & 27 as well, as one of her kids uses a bus pass with those routes, so she's obviously concerned whether the pass is valid or not.

She sent me a screenshot of the pass receipt & it said a child regional at £25, which suggests to me, it's a Nx only pass, as it doesn't mention Nbus anywhere!

The £25 pass is only valid on NX buses. The Nbus costing £27 is valid on any bus in the West Midlands (except Select Bus I think).

Belle Vale (Cradley) is set to lose buses as the 17H is getting withdrawn

Banner Lane/Colman Hill (Cradley) is set to lose buses as the 28 is getting withdrawn

Union Street (Lye) is set to lose bus services as the 298/299 is getting merged into the 142/142A

Beech Lane/Love Lane/Worcester Lane/Redlake Road (Norton is set to lose buses as the 10A/C are getting withdrawn.

Sedgley Road East (Tipton) is also set to lose buses with the cuts to the 42
From what the TfWM website says, 10A/C is being replaced with service 88 between Stourbridge and Norton operated by Kev's coaches.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I think this is only evenings and Sundays unless there has been a last minute change

Rachvince53

Although not 100% certain, I think it's all day as the Kingstanding to Erdington section will also run after 6pm and on Sundays according to TfWM implying the full route including the new extension will operate daily all day.

Jack D

Really good extension, nice to see some investment in the 96 service. Wander what route it will take to the airport? Coleshill heath road getting a service again?

monkeyjoe

If so will they coordinate times with x12 so works out 15 min frequency between c wood and airport
