Just been looking at the Transport for West Midlands Facebook page and some people think it's a kick to the balls.

might help reduce the costs of my friday radio show, by £15 it will be hard getting home afterwards but by making it free, if i can get a lift there it means i actually save a fortune its the downside to volunteering lets hope the 22:15 isnt early that day

I'm not quite sure I like what you're insinuating there.

Rammed. Glad I quit late nites a few years back I just do my own rota late nite line every 6 weeks, I've noticed huge differences in patterns there no let up some times, no wonder drivers can't get there lates covered now.

I'm not as I'm going to need the 74 on those evenings, and the 74 can be unpleasant at times as it is.

From the 9-13th I think I'll stick to the trains or Metro after 7pm. If I'm lucky I might even get a seat on a tram

Now that the Christmas timetables are starting to appear, can I confirm, as the formatting on the web page is slightly to cock, that there's no Nx services operating outside the WM county, with the X51 only operating Walsall to Birmingham, on Boxing Day & New Years Day & presumbly, this will have to wait until the TfWM version pops up, no Walsall service 19 either on both days?

(The 19 hasn't operated in previous years either!)

It says on the NX site X51 is running Birmingham to Walsall only.

In terms of services outside the WM county boundary I imagine the 11 to Leamington and X13 via Coleshill will be running at least. Maybe the only bus services running in Warwickshire on boxing day as Stagecoach aren't running anything,

Yes indeed. NX Coventry say that the 11 will run on Boxing Day. The 20 has run to Nuneaton on Boxing Day (but not New Year's Day) in the past couple of years, so I am waiting to see what will happen this time.

That does leave the Turnberry in Bloxwich without a service on those 2 days.

Didnt the X51 operate to Cannock last year?

Nothing else is running in cannock on boxing day so do they need to run the X51

Yes, but did they run the Cannock bit of the X51 last year?

Sure there was one year they did!

I'm not sure, if there's no demand for it then they won't run it, other than runs past shopping centres and retail parks I can't imagine boxing day services being particularly busy

Don't go to Cannock don't use the X51 don't really care
