Service changes June 2025

PVRs next week are also lower due to half term

Are these actually an early end of term change for the summer holidays (though unis and schools have less travel owing to exams etc?) or they likely to extend after September?

Next week is usual school holiday reductions, services then go almost back to current first week of June, just slight reductions mostly on University routes

Thanks - thought so 👍

The new timetables are now on the NXWM website.  It appears that the 15 will be interworking with the 2/2A at Merry Hill.  If this means the use of E200s on the 15 then there are going to be serious capacity issues at certain times of the day.

In addition, although the 15/16 are shown as a single timetable, the 16A is shown as a separate timetable.  Surely these journeys should be included in a single 15/16/16A timetable.

the X20 also has its own timetable, which is so weird. does anyone know if the X20 will be platinum when it comes into service because it's an X bus and that was the original point of the platinums?

Its because the page is linked to the current 15/15A/16 timetables. Once the new tinetable comes into effect, I would think that the services will be shown together.

There aren't any 'Platinum' routes now, I imagine BC will use any bus they have available.

The X- prefix just designates an express or limited stop route.

Platinum doesn't exist anymore !
