Hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow. They seem to only update things on a Wednesday.

sorry. WHAT? why?

The timetable covering the section of the 169 replaced by the 27 seems to be incorrect. 

The one on the NX website only shows four stops between Yardley Wood station and Solihull (and one of those is Northfield!) which makes it impossible to work out the route.

Bustimes has interpreted it as only serving Blenheim Road five times a day towards Solihull but hourly throughout the day towards Frankley.

Early days but I hope it gets fixed.

UPDATE. The timetable on the TFWM website starting from Wednesday 23rd looks correct.

Hopefully the bus stops information will be updated in good time this time around, last time was a bit of a shambles. 

I haven't seen any bus stop changes as of yet around south Birmingham.

The NX website timetable only lists timing points on the PDF download. 

Bustimes is showing a combination of both the current timetable and the new one, presumably because the current timetable data has no end date specified.

The timetable on the TfWM website is indeed correct.

Many stops on City/Portland Road have been changed for the 12 and 13. 

[Westy]

I don't get why they can't put a proper route description on the PDF timetable these days?

I saw some stops on Brandwood Park Road that now say 27

[TGZac]

All stops on Ormond Road have removed all mentions of the 61 and most stops in Allens Cross have been changed to 27 along with the stops on Frankley Beeches Road to 61.

Sounds like TFWM is finally remembering to do their job 

[GoldenSquid]

Most of the 27/61 stops were changed last week, so TfWM were really early this time. Which makes a change.

Lets see how long the Allens Cross change lasts, I saw that the local MP isn't happy about it along with many residents.
