New Routes

[Bob]

Caught the 4pm from wolves which was late, not very busy total of about 9 passengers on and off. On s251 jua. Horrid buses especially the downstairs seating. 

[Bob]

Leicester passengers and drivers apparently hate the things lol

[Westy]

Why don't they run from Wednesfield as it will be based there anyway?

[Bob]

Decker on a walsall bound 19 at new invention at 1.30pm today had 1 passenger on lol

[Westy]

Bearing in mind,  the 327 & 610 are Centro subsidised,  is the 310 also subsidised or is it now commercial,  as if one of the bits is lost to another operator,  surely it won't be worth running,  unless it can be interworked with another route?

[Bob]

Lets hope they get some better buses for it. Willenhall to merry hill on an ex midland or even an arriva dart would NOTbe a pleasant eexperience

Wonder if the most cynical of us will be laying bets whether the bus will make it through on a regular basis without a breakdown.

Might actually book the morning off just to try it and the X26 when they launch :-)

What's the X26

[John]

What's the X26

A new Hansons route, Dudley to Merry Hill I think, starting next month

[richie]

Next month will be interesting with hansons and arriva running in competition with nxwm on the X96 and part of the 246.

[Bob]

Arriva on the x96???

[nitromatt1]

Arriva on the x96???

Hansons are launching a new route to compete with the X96 between Dudley and Merry Hill, the X26, think it will follow the same line of route?

[the trainbasher]

It will but not to compete against the X96 but for another purpose which is to reinstate a link severed by Centro in a network review
