I guess that confirms that NX are getting the 96 back, as I don't see anywhere where it has been announced?

At least that means less single deckers on dd routes.

Probably replaces Diamond 002 Sunday service, following that route. First time BC buses have ran to Halesowen, Colley Gate, Merry Hill for several years.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

I presume the varied route from the city centre will follow the current 002 from the end of Adams Hill rather than turning left onto Wood Lane.

QuoteVery funny.
Why is it funny, Tony said nx has won a tender on a route never been ran by nx. 002 was up for tender on Sundays only. Extending the x21 once an hour is a compromise and good use of resources so the service can be ran.

I said that because I thought it was a joke. It should be. Not only does it suffer delays through City Centre and Selly Oak sometimes, now it could get stuck up Merry Hill way.

I'm sorry, but I personally hope this doesn't last long.

But the x21 extension to Merry Hill is only on a Sunday, it appears (mostly via the 002 route).
