Least reliable NXWM services

[Steveminor]

I would also like to vote for the 73. It has become more reliable lately however myself & a lot of people remember a couple of months ago when, for two straight days there was a 2HOUR gap in service. The NX inspector on duty in Solihull was trying everything to get a bus but due to lack of drivers & lateness of the buses that were running all he could do was get a bus special from Yew Tree to Solihull, then run it as a 71E to Yew tree to ensure he would at least have one bus arrive ready for the PM peak. That would have left it 2 1/2 hours with no enc to end service.


Beat that for unreliable!!!

Today (Sunday) 89 came 10 minutes late into Walsall due out 05 past the hour but came at 15.

This route can be quite unreliable especially at peak times.

On Sundays/evenings the journey time on 89-Walsall is very tight and unrealistic. The next time you go on it time it and monitor how many stops passenger use it and see if the running time is practical or not.

To improve reliability my suggestion would be to withdraw from high Heath and Wolverhampton Pitt street to improve reliability

Daytime journey time 1hr 10 mins

Evening 55 mins and only not serving Trevor Road

Dunno about Pitt St, but surely High Heath still needs to be served?

Isnt there some Centro access rule, that you have to be so far from a bus stop?

(Mind you, it didnt help Gillity Village's Sunday service a few years back!)

The 89 (30 minute frequency) was running towards wolverhampton with 2 buses running with 10-15 minutes of each other. Buses were 4330 followed by 1772.

120 is generally ok. A couple late runnings, but nothing of real note. 53 was really bad at peaks before it fully transferred to PE. I'm unsure of its reliability since PE took it over full time

4312, 4582 and 4583 were running on convoy on the 126 this evening with 4538 a couple of minutes behind! Half an hour's worth of buses in 2-3 minutes

Should there not be more routes in this poll. 126 is never on time in my experience, and 129, before the changes anyway

Just wondering, who added the poll? As it wasn't me

Only the person who started the thread or Tony can edit a poll

From the collection I'd have to nominate the 126. I used to catch it to/from College, was always late, doesn't help that the frequency reduces after 5 (between Birmingham & Dudley)

In the Poll Is the 89 Route the WA or WB 89?
