Sorry but where does that mention the 355 timetable or route, just a change of number. The item you show here is why so many of our customers are disturbed, they think the 355 is coming off its existing route and timetable but as far as we have been told it is not. There are also about 30/40 kids go to Droitwich High on the 355 but we cannot tell them if that is still operating. I strongly suspect it is but they need telling. In First's defense we have been operating a 61 plate E200 on there for several months although it is euro6

This is what it says:

Service 22, 22A (Droitwich - Worcester)We're pleased to launch our new 22 22A service from Droitwich to Worcester which is replacing current service 355. We'll be running at new times and running an extra journey each way through to Worcester.

This is the new timetable - https://www.firstbus.co.uk/sites/default/files/public/node_images/22%2022A_Web%20OL.pdf

It is clear in the blurb, copied below, above the link for the timetable. I agree with you it is not actually mentioned on the timetable itself.

Thank you. We will advise our passengers that they will still have a service but how is the normal everyday passenger with no interest in public transport than get from a-b expected to find this. We will try to make sure they do over the coming weeks

From 5 January Kev's single fare will be £2.40 and a return only £4.50. We will also be selling weekly tickets for only £18 to be used on all Kev's services for 6 days.

Happy New Year to all new and old friends from everyone here at Kev's. Could be interesting or the lull before the storm whatever, those of us old enough have been through it all before. Politicians will never let go of public transport but of course they know best ....they do don't they !!

Anyone know of this 39S service? Spotted it as the sole service on the flag of the bus stop near Great Stone Road in Northfield.

Operates straight down the Bristol Road after Northfield arriving at Longbridge Station 08:30.
Probably scheduled to arrive at that time for the college at Longbridge.

One trip per school day only. We did operate a  PM return but it appears they all start the same time but the finish times are staggered so no call for a return, they use either the 39 or 39A to get home.

Strange, I thought TfWM don't list school/work services on the stop flags?

[igogeneral]

It is not a school service, it is a registered bus route open to all members of the public

The FD is a registered public service open to all members of the public and it isn't on the flags but it is shown on the printed timetables I believe.
The X2 journey that stops on Blossomfield Road, I'm not 100 percent sure whether it's on the flags or not, I'll check that one tomorrow.

 You could also even the same for the 822 etc registered public services open to all members of the public but none of them are shown on the printed timetables or flags.

Historically, the drivers of the 822 have been very defensive letting members of the public on the bus.

Regardless yes, it doesn't show on the flag/printed timetable. It will show on the electronic screens though.

If there's capacity on them I think they might just have been ill informed maybe?
