 The 16 Wolves to Stourbridge is increasing to every 20 mins but this only applies to the Mon-Fri service. It should state that.
15 Implies all journeys will serve Wombourne but in fact the late eve and Sunday service won't serve the village (terminating at Wall Heath)
16A this late eve and Sunday service is not mentioned.

This information has now been added to the TfWM page with the exception of the late eve and Sunday 15 service. However the timetable link should convey that information. I wonder if they read my comment?!

Looks like some changes to some Willenhall services from June, due to unreliabilty caused by current roadworks, but only Nx services.

Retiming to allow for delays.  None NX services (ie Diamond and Carolean) aren't as frequent and presumably have slack in the timetable at each end.

Try looking at the 326 this week on Bustimes & see if you change your mind!

It's normally the other way around.

Tendered services tend to always be very tightly timetabled whereas NX allow more layover time on services regularly affected by traffic problems. On a quiet day see how many Walsall buses are parked up in Birmingham City Centre in the morning peak because they have arrived on time.

so the X21 and X22 timetables are changing to accommodate the X20, but i'm wondering how that's gonna work with the X20 being every 30 minutes and the others being every 15-20. 

i wonder if eventually they'll up it to 20 back to the way the old X20 used to be. 

i've also noticed that NXWM don't stay undabbled out of the cofton hackett area for too long, e.g. replacements of services etc, so i wonder what's going to replace the old 20 later on down the line.
local routes:
20 - QE Hospital to Bromsgrove
20A - QE Hospital to Cofton Hackett
45 - Birmingham to Longbridge
47 - Birmingham to Longbridge
49 - Solihull to Rubery Great Park
63 - Birmingham to Frankley

+ 19, 55, 145, 145A, 182, 183

I think they have just worded it wrong and it's just summer timetables.

Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

NXC are making a slight change to the 20, sending it through Hill Top and College Street between Bermuda Park and the hospital, instead of sending it directly up the bypass.

I assumed that was the case but the NX website also says that the timetables are changed to accommodate the new X20 which suggests these might be permanent as opposed to summer holiday period changes? 

What are the X21/22 amendments from 1st June?

I think a couple of timings changes, like the short journeys have gone. Also maybe a run to help the X20 short journey on a sunday morning from bromsgrove.

So I see. Probably still a bit of both though. I can't see these being the timetables from September surely.
Main changes are the peak time frequencies are back to every 20 mins. Which is what usually happens during half terms or the summer.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 46A & 48
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

NX website doesn't list any updates to the X2 timetable, neither the garage change

Changes to the X2 timetable are very minor, only one I can see is that the last journey of the day from Solihull will terminate at Swan Island.

Passengers generally are not interested in which garage runs any particular service, that's why those never get mentioned.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
