No, not for at least another year anyway, see:
https://wmbu.org.uk/2023/07/nx-bus-network-preserved-until-2024-despite-losses/

As for closing of depots, the next one that will close will be Birmingham Central, but the intention is to replace that with two new ones, however that won't happen any time soon, probably in the next few years.


My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Not the 71 but the CV X30 and WN 10B both appear to have been cancelled from September. Possibly due to end of contract?

94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

The x30 only got renewed last June. Unless they're integrating it into another service, or that June renewal was just a temporary thing?

10B is only three journeys each way Mon-Fri so not a big miss as long as the Wolverhampton to Perton part is retained (as a regular 10 perhaps)

I don't know as I haven't asked, but sometimes it is just combining onto other registrations

That route is showing as running every 30 minutes to Pattingham at the moment during the day (as a 10A, missing out the two hourly time when it did the 10B journey) which I was surprised at, as I thought it only went to Pattingham every two hours. The registration on the 10/10A/10B does state 10B is being withdrawn, so (speculatively) either those journeys will just become 10A journeys, or they'll have a mix up between the 10/10A.

Probably explains why I've always seen a 10A at its Pattingham terminus when I've had to go there.
