I see the 22 is being extended from Bearwood to Metropolitan Hospital via Sandon Road, City Road, Shenstone Road - is this the first time Shenstone Road has been served by a bus?

No.  It was previously served by the 80 I think among others.

Maybe just stick to your Wolverhampton routes 👍

Probably the best idea. I was relying on AI which stated that Shenstone Road had been served by various routes including the 80, 87 and 54

That appears to be an error, according to the route map on the TfWM website, it goes via Rotton Park Road. Last/first stop before/after the hospital is the Shenstone Road stop on City Road.

Frequency for the new 22 leaves alot to the imagination, every 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes?? Or have I read that completely wrong??

No you're not wrong, it is every 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, the timetable is done this way so that the service only uses 1 bus.

I wonder if it'll interwork with the brand new 23 at Oldbury

Done the X21 tonight (Wednesday Night) and noticed that the bus stops where the 46 stops have had a TfWM sticker put on them mentioning about the changes on the 20th.

One thing I did notice is the stop Castle Rd, Beckbury Rd. Still says 48/76/X21, so that stop hasn't been updated in a bit.

Yes it's been there a little while. There was nothing like that for the June changes though.

Both Jervoise Road stops are wrong, I mentioned these in the Bus Stops thread IIRC.

There's also one at The Barrbery by the QE still mentions the 76 instead of 48.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21 & 48
