S16 i predict it will be operated by Acocks Green Garage not exactly sure but its a guess

If it stays in its current form its only a couple of off peak trips, could be added to the X2 BC peak board perhaps. The one that does 7.53 ex City and finishes in Solihull at about 8.50 normally. Like how 25 uses a X21 board/bus.

I think a lot of that route was previously served by TWM/NXWM, 42, 58 etc.

It's going to be operated by the peak board on the 73 route from AG

Will it see double decks like the 73 does? Or just single decks? 
Must have been a long time since a double decker last went down Coverdale Road.

What route will the 77 take? Will it just be a couple of off peak trips to Erdington?

Why would it just be a couple of trips. It is replacing the 167/168

They're hourly and services that start late and finish early. Last one is currently timetabled at 14:48. Or will there be a later service?
As far as I know the PB X15 does cover these routes during the peak hours.

The X15 is being included into the running boards covering all these routes as well. NXWM instead of bidding for all the different routes put one combined bid in to cover the X15, 77, 167, 168 & 604 which will all be run by Walsall garage

Oh wow so that means PB will loose the x15 then @Tony

The list doesn't include changes to Claribels 75 / 75A

Are they retaining the two school services under the coach operations?

The 75/75A is going over to Diamond but revised as Route 76/76A Sutton Coldfield - Tamworth via Coleshill

I assume that is because the 75/75a is a Warwickshire tendered service, not a TfWM one.

However, I expect that TfWM know that it will be replaced by new Diamond 76, so it runs partly inside the TfWM area, there is no reason why TfWM could not have included it in the list.
