North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield Review

Where's the suggestion that the 654 is being extended come from? It states on the list there are no changes

"654   Aston - Perry Barr - Hamstead via Handsworth Wood    NXWM   New timetable to improve reliability. Service extended from Perry Barr to Aston to cover changes to the 46."

Copy and pasted directly from the website linked earlier.

Would the extended 934 be continued to be run by PB. Would nice to see toothpaste Enviros in Walsall :-)

Its moving to Walsall according to the drivers I know at PB

In my defense I was looking at this link which says no change, and perhaps wrongly assumed that both lists would be the same: http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/bus/servicechanges/ServiceChangesPages/09June2013.aspx

However, now I have seen both links, I'm even more intruiged as to how badly they f***** up.... 66 every 20 mins, 66A only sutton to erdington, how exactly is that any benefit to people travelling to Nechells and star city in the slightest? In fact how then can they really call it the 66A when it has very little left in common with the 66?

"Service 654 will be extended to cover this section of route providing a new link between Hampstead and Aston via Perry Barr" Wow, a new link that will take about an hour, yeah really useful

I have to say I think it's rubbish, can only see little benefits for a small amount of people, and things are either the same or worse for a fair few others

I'm assuming with 66 it will be every 10 minutes between City and erdington with the extension every 20mins. Would be very surprised if whole route on the city side cut to 20 mins. however could be wrong, looks like a large cost cutting excercise for PB garage. (indirectly of course).

I was expecting more changes to be honest, like a direct route between Perry Beeches & Sutton Coldfield

It will be run by WA garage.

Any transfers from PB to WA to cover?

Its nice to see NX coming back to certain corridors, but why did they withdraw in the first place?

But then surely the 66A could be a 20 min frequency and run the whole way to the city

What's the difference between the 935A and 936 :-/

[Westy]

What's the difference between the 935A and 936 :-/

Taking a guess, Hundred Acre Estate?

[Kevin]

What's the difference between the 935A and 936 :-/

The route in brownhills, and possibly the 936 heading through Pheasey, or have I read that wrong?

[lynx1103]

I was hoping part of the 68 re-istasted.by withdrawing 71A/638 combing them as one route operating

Sutton-Walmley-Castle Vale-Fort shopping park-Pype Hayes-Erdington

Message went out on WA radio this morning stating that route training for the 934 and 936 is being done this weekend, so that pretty much wraps up the fact that both routes are running from Walsall.

Already Confirmed on here anyway.
