Service changes June 2025

[Rachvince53]

Surprised the evening and Sunday 15s aren't turning around at blaze park.

Me too as that is perhaps a much better waiting place between journeys than Wall Heath church.

It was mentioned but what do we steering wheel attendants know

15/16 changes
Lots of lost connections on evenings and weekends, I see a lot of care workers use this services. I guess they withdrawal is as it wasn't tendered out?

Evening and Sundays - No Wolverhampton to Kingswinford/Stourbridge connection.

To go from 2 Hourly services 15/16 to None seems a bit heavy handed. If this was a few years ago it would have severely impacted my work travel so lucky to have changed jobs!

Zero service between Stourbridge/Kingswinford/Wordsley too on evenings and Sundays, as the 17 was cut back a few years ago

The 16 will still be running its normal route to Stourbridge on Sunday so still has the link to Wolverhampton all day.

According to the timetable the 16a runs Wolves to Wombourne all day Sunday, so both the 16a and 16 operate on Sundays?

Well if passengers are not there routes will get cut 
Use um or loose um

Lower frequency and smaller network equals passengers reverting to other modes of transport as bus use is no longer viable

Further reducing the usage and further cuts. Rinse and repeat.....

I believe hourly each evenings & Sundays to maintain the half hourly frequency on the Penn Road out of Wolverhampton.

Makes sense as that part of the route is probably the busiest. 

TFWM site provides a dead link when clicking to view the new 16 timetable.....

If you read back through this thread, what is known has already been detailed.

There are too many different aspects of the changes to really outline on a forum, though as @Stu has pointed out, there are various posts that may help you.

The 23/24 and 94/95 will be reducing in daytime frequency from 1st June from every 5 minutes to every 6 minutes during the day.

I can't recall whether this is an annual thing, as in are they reduced in frequency every summer from around this date? Or is it a permanent change?

With the X2 being run out of AG from now on does that mean we may see extra transfers from BC? Or other depots?
