Well let's just say if the amount of people that had complained about the removal of the 72 & subsequently x70, had used the 71A, it would not have been cancelled.

How long had Claribels been running on the Chelmsley
Wood - Solihull corridor? Like, not this 71A but the 71E previous as well

Nx have to much monopoly power unfortunately

Sunny Travel too. They hog the stand in Solihull for about 10 minutes and leave with a full load, then a 71A turns up and leaves with no more than 4 people.

Thanks for that, it is as I suspected then.

NX altered some services in the Old Hill area, I recall, same pattern again, petitions and protests got a link restored, then subsequently had to get cut again due to a lack of use.

So its nothing to do with NX having a monopoly (other operators are available you know), just passengers not using the services they say they need.

I think it is almost inevitable that consultations will result in responses from the few with pet schemes and no response from the vast majority until they turn up on the first day to find their journey altered.

Like a bus happening to have 129 on its destination in Stourbridge I presume?
