Any news on this one yet? Did they have to have special registrations for this last year?

If you look at the VOSA history, there do appear to be registrations for those services affected last year to become effective on the 19 December 2013. These were received by VOSA on the 24/10/13. So it may be a little late for this year, but who knows?

Seems this year that Diamond will be running extra late journeys on the 002 between 19.12.14 & 23.12.14 with last departure from Merry Hill towards Weoley Castle at 00:25.

Looks like its just Diamond then! I would of thought last years NX Service was well used but surely to late to register it now? Shame.

Hoping Diamond get the business on the key MH to Halesowen corridor with this. It seems well-timetabled and a 30 min frequency is frequent enough that if people miss it, it's not too long to wait. Also, there's some time to walk back to the stand if you intend to stay right until closing time at MH. Which would be more than I could bear but still!

Wonder what happens with day returns bought on the service-still available for use on the return back from MH even on last departure?

I assume day returns will be valid

Yes, the day returns will be valid to be used on the last departure as they will be accepted until the end of service.

Brilliant news-hopefully it takes off and potentially later departures could be added onto the normal M-F service.
