Neither did I. Will they be taking over only Monday - Saturday evening services, or Sunday evening services as well?

I knew that WMSNT were doing some commercial work in Birmingham, I've seen them on the number 10 but given the number of passengers the 297 carries of an evening I am very surprised they have tendered for it. Are they trying to expand into the bus market in a big way or just picking up bits and bobs for now.

Interestingly, appeared on service changes page of the Centro website,

"Some Mon-Sat journeys reinstated with minor retimings under contract to Centro" to National Express.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I take it they mean some evening journeys reinstated by NX? :)

Going to be a last minute timetable job this one!

So all the new timetables are finally now available. Is it me or are NXWM and WMSNT operating a similar journey around 1900 arriving 1929 at Merry Hill from Halesowen on M-F?

But do both then continue to Gornal/Stickley as that might be when the tender kicks in
