Interesting letter into the Great Barr Observer this week, someone complaining that Barr Beacon has no bus in the evening or on Sunday.
I have to say I think NX and NWM screwed up big time there, there was potential to improve the network and keep the existing links but they had to ruin it for some people didn't they?

My suggestion would be to run a 936E to Aldridge in place of the current 934Es. I'm fact if I'm honest I reckon the full 934 at these times would work as well but what am I to know I only use the buses I don't run them.

Well when Barr Beacon have the odd event on, it would be a good idea.

Do they not have a 997 that runs upto to Barr Beacon before turning left ?

That got rerouted along Aldridge Road instead.

The 934 now serves Beacon Road, but not evenings & Sunday's!

Running a full 934 on evenings and Sundays would mean a direct link between Kingstanding and Walsall on Sundays
