Coventry will need its own buses then to operate the X1

Quote from: Westy on October 13, 2023, 08:40:52 AMIt'll be interesting to see the resultant interworking, especially on Sundays, as service 35 'relies' on Service 9!
Interworking Sundays sequence is usually 

6-41-35-77

Where the 9 would of been in between 41 & 35.

Think the new plan will work better improved reliability with 9 gone.

Looks like the 4/4H/4M is to be the next partnership route. A new joint timetable will be introduced.


Wonder when this will happen on the 50.

Wonder if Diamond will take the NX route round the Hayley Green loop rather than the Hagley Road which is served by the 192 anyway.

Now looking at the new timetable on Diamond it says National Express only running 4,4M and Diamond only running 4H but the new timetable on National Express shows that they are running all 3 services but doesn't show anything for Diamond so don't know what to believe.

The new timetable from Diamond also doesn't show any Sunday times. :laugh:

Also it would appear that Diamond are retaining the 20 and 21 services after all, albeit with a reduced Monday to Friday timetable and Saturday journeys withdrawn.

When the 16 became a joint timetable NX didn't show the Diamond journeys for them either

Looking on the TfWM website, it would seem that NXWM will be operating the new 71A service Monday to Saturday, with Solus providing the Sunday service from 29th October. 

New timetables for the NX 71 service don't show any Sunday service, so I wonder if this means Solus will operate this as well?

Yes. With the loss of the 25/600. Means they will only be running a bus service on Sundays.

Also looks like late evening services have been altered. With the last buses being 20:03 71A to Sutton Coldfield, 21:10 71 to Chelmsley Wood.

No you are right there I was looking at new timetables for end of the month which now means that will change again.

I may be jumping the gun here, but will the 89 be interworking with the 54/54A (or anything else for that matter) at West Bromwich from next week

I've been going over the times, and:

Monday to Saturday
  • a 54(A) arrives into West Brom at xx:25 & xx:55 and the 89 leaves at xx:05 & xx:35
  • an 89 arrives into West Brom at xx:03 & xx:33 and the 54(A) leave at xx:10 & xx:40

Sounds logical, especially that the 89 currently uses e200s
