Also mentions about the 4H does this mean diamond taking on the evening and Sunday journeys?

Or could be that Diamond will operate just the tender for the evening journeys but until details are released, any comments about what could happen is just speculation.

Quite eager to know about that one, I see how their trying to boost the connectivity back to BHX, starting with the return of the 97A. I can only guess landflight will operate this, but who knows?

No changes to the A1 other than the operator. A12/A15 becomes the 630 with a revised Solihull to Shirley route.
So I think no.

They are just renumbering them? Same with the a10 when they get around to it.

They are introducing a new A6 Solihull to Dorridge as well.

That confuses me, why do we need this

Have you actually looked at the TfWM Upcoming Service Changes page?

The A6 is needed as part of the replacement of the A3 service.

Oh sorry I thought the 188 was the same thing.

It seems the 44, 45, 67 have still to be announced 

[Jack D]

And the 77/77A changes

[wembley86]

I've just looked at the map on TfWM for 41a and it looks like it follows the 67 route from Wednesbury to friar park before heading to West Bromwich.

Coventry bus user posted the routes for the new routes, just wondering, how come the A12/A15 combined route isn't going to Shirley station anymore? Anybody have any ideas?

Because it would add an extra vehicle. 

The A12 and A15 have (very efficiently) been combined to maintain a 30 min frequency throughout and utilise 3 buses, rather than the 4 buses that were being proposed in the original tender.

NX have picked up the 22 Bearwood to Oldbury, which I assume would only need short E200s. Will be interesting to see how they work that.

I'm assuming West Bromwich would be taking this route?
