Street parties taking place even as I post to welcome the introduction of the changes resulting from the North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield Review aka The Pheasey Review. Actually the majority of people in North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield are totally underwhelmed by the changes and are struggling to identify the changes and how they will improve their travel experience! This has to be the weakest review undertaken to date.

have to agree that it has been a very weak review, are we to take it that the people of North Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield are so happy with there bus services, they didn't want any changes?

Surely there are more changes to come? The only benefitted areas are Kingstanding & Pheasey.

You'd think so, everyone other than people living in Kingstanding & Pheasey surely can't be happy with the bus services they get.....

I wasn't expecting the extent of changes that we've seen in Sandwell & Coventry, but I thought it would have amounted to more than it eventually did, especially given it was delayed

That's what I don't particularly understand, why they had to delay it when there wasn't that many changes. The only other reason I can imagine for delaying would be because someone, somewhere, forgot, and even for NWM I think that's a bit far-fetched

Maybe they reviewed those areas and nothing needed changing apart from Kingstanding and Pheasey.

Yes Nathan they have. I'm guessing new branding for the 934/5/6 may be in the pipeline

No service to Barr Beacon evening & Sunday now is there?

I was wondering about that, I was expecting the 934 shorts to terminate at Barr Beacon

I've identified a change!  The combined 115/914 departures from The Square Peg used to be every 15 minutes, now the pattern is 20 / 10 / 20 / 10.   Yep, hanging around the Square Peg for an extra 5 minutes - I'm totally underwhelmed by that "improvement" to my travel experience .......  ::)

I was expecting at least earlier buses on the 907 on Sunday, the earliest arrival is 10:25, surely there is demand for it

Lol, there being a demand for something doesn't necessarily mean it will happen, take night buses as an example. Sunday mornings are a joke for getting anywhere, its quicker for me to walk the 5 miles to work than to attempt it by bus.

Entirely plausible, but personally struggling with that idea

The 33 goes right past the front door of the Dears Leap

The Real 4778

Don't you start.
