Quote from: 2206 on August 18, 2023, 07:26:06 PMWonder how the 41 timetable will fit in with the existing 11/14 services on the sections between Uni of Warwick and Leamington Spa/Eastern Green. What would the frequency on that section look like?

Possibly running as the 11 to Uni Of  Warwick then as the 14 to Parkhill Estate, not sure which way it might go to Radford from there?
Could it be that we will lose the 14/ 5 and the 41 is there replacements

Couldn't imagine so as the 13 & 21 is moving onto B rota from the 3rd which the 5 & 7 are on which everyone on the 13 & 21's is having to learn

Perhaps it might be prudent to wait for any official announcement or communication?

For all we know, these might just be school/works services that only operate once or twice a day.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Ill take a purely speculative stab - X1 as far as Grayswood Avenue/Kingsbury Road, left up on the 51 through Coundon then to wherever the Radford terminus is - rather amiguous as Radford could be defined as Jubilee Crescent, Old Shepherd or even the end of Burnaby Road where the 5 used to terminate on Sundays.

I wonder when these changes will be confirmed/denied on the NX Website considering September isn't far away at all now.

If true I would guess anytime in the next 2/3 weeks then it'll take TFWM about 2-3 years to put in new bus stops/ signs

Come on, you're being a bit optimistic there!

Do the services operated by E200 and B7 not operate on sundays? And if they do, is there anything preventing these services being operated by the BYD E400 during the week?

The 20b doesn't run on Sundays, all other normally single deck services can be run by double decks

Good to hear, noticed 8 deckers on the 17 yesterday (so 100% electric as PVR for daytime is 8).

Not to be the one to dampen the mood, but 6953 is out in Pool Meadow currently and I assume it is the same E400MMC that passed the railway station at around quarter to 2.

Not in service though.

6953 and 7540 are both on contract work for the 'Blind Games'
