NXWM 1 September 2013 changes

[Bob]

Bugger! You know I can see them pulling out completely after the arriva thing

[Sh4318]

Will NX operate it as the X56 or incorperate it into another service like the Evening and Sunday 56A is the 935A?

The X56 is new route route I hinted at turning off at the Scott Arms. It is to be integrated into the X51 as far as the Scott Arms and will then turn right there to head back to its current route. NXWM are also increasing the number of journies with two one way and three the other instead of the current one each way

That could provide a useful link for residents of Queslett Road, assuming the X56 will go that way

It's been some time since NX has been to Boney Hay.

Are there any other changes? Apart from the ones in the Walsall area

Boney Hay always struck me as a bizarrely random destination from Birmingham, going right back to the days of the hourly 155 service. When I finally got to look at it on Streetview, I saw nothing that changed my opinion.

Been thinking about this today, and strikes me as a bit bizarre. Two routes from Boney Hay to Birmingham, with the same number, but two different routes? Confusing much?

The Arriva X56 is going, repalced by the NXWM version it sounds like to me

I remember X56 operated by Chase coaches for years using coaches Plaxton in morning peak . Same driver everyday.

Thoought the 255 was hourly on Sundays anyway, with the 255e being hourly also.

[Liverpool Street]

I'm assuming the 255 shorts will be withdrawn on Sundays

[Bob]

Arriva 2 evening journeys withdrawn???? I thought theyd registered commercially in some of the journeys? ? So no buses between cannock and walsall? Wow
