Quote from: Zeddan on April 20, 2025, 02:40:43 PMIs there a specific procedure in place for communicating route changes, as in, they can't tell people until a specific time? It's now just 1 week until the 5/5A is replaced by the 7/7A and while the majority of bus stop flags have been changed, and while the timetable is available on the TFWM site, the social media managers at NXC are still completely unaware of the change, and it's not mentioned on the NXC website besides a small note under the marathon notice. I've seen people ask on the buses and one driver dismissed them, but at least 3 others have complained about not being told about service changes. I'd have thought drivers would be updated quite a bit in advance? Hopefully this doesn't sound like a stupid question I'm just a concerned person that knows a lot of bus travellers who go to the NX website over TFWM for information.
Are there any notices inside the buses?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to QE Hospital | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

There are yes. The electrics E034 onwards have them on the screens and the E200's, volvos and E020's have paper notices on the windows

Are these for the upcoming changes? I went on E059 running the 5A on Friday, and all the screens were still providing information about the Sunday NXC 51 being withdrawn, the 6 getting an additional early morning journey and the 20 getting evening journey changes. Maybe I've just got unlucky with that.

Most have been updated. Can't tell you how many have been updated but I know the majority have been updated. They're updating the ones that havent been done daily. E059 probably a case of keeps going out before being managed to be done

Has anyone else seen the X1 recently? They are all either not tracking properly, or running the absolute random timetable

Hopefully not. Kind of like the Z4001,6,7 livery, looks very simple, hope they just put blue stripes and NX Coventry stickers on them

Looks a bit odd when it says national express West Midlands when it's now a Coventry bus.
