Bus Stops ?

[l.murphy123]

How come NX can only do it on the 10A but not any other routes that go out of TfWM boundary?
Trying to show the new extension of the 10A?

They have only put a timetable up, no flag. Staffs wont put a penny towards shelters, flags or anything like that so consequently it's down to the operators to sort.
Arriva have their own signs and flags in random places like Lichfield, parts of Stafford and Sankeys Corner but nowhere else that I have seen.

I see. I thought the X12 replaced the 966? So why does it do one trip each way on a Monday between Solihull and Erdington? Sorry if it's a silly question, I'm not familiar with this part of the City.

As DTS don't want to pay for the flags saying 966 to be removed.

The flags refer to the DTS 966.
The X12 and 96 replaced the NX 966.
However the DTS 966 continued for a few months, before being reduced to one journey a day at the end of August 2017, that was then cut down to one journey a week in January 2018.
As was said it appears that DTS don't want to pay for the 966 route number to be removed from every stop on the route.

It's one journey a week now? That's hilarious
Surely someone somewhere has to step in, otherwise we'll start ending up with parliamentary bus services

Regarding the new outbound WM Bus Hagley Road, Francis Road (Five Ways) flag I noticed they've strangely listed X10 before X8 on the flag.
Normally and on every other flag I looked at on the route X8 would be listed before X10.

I've also noticed the other day that one of the flags at Solihull Station says "S16 Damsonwood", though the S16 doesn't go to the Damsonwood, neither does it go to the Station.

Should be S1. I have reported this via the website but nothing seems to have been done...

I did notice last week on the 10A runnning day there were certainly 1 or 2 stops where NX had put up 10A flags.
Can't remember exactly where they were now though - Burntwood/Chasetown area.

I did the 10A yesterday, I noticed a fair lot more than '1 or 2' in total.

That explains the disgraceful state of most of the stops, shelters etc. around the Tamworth estates.

I did notice a few of the older style flags on the 10A route as we got closer to Lichfield were damaged, with corners snapped off, and one with most of the flag snapped off, presumably from where they've been hit by a bus and never been fixed.

I went the week before, for the Food Festival, & the one was after you crossed the county boundary & negociated the various islands.

It was the first stop!

Yes they won't put the route numbers on so you have to guess which services pass unless you are close enough to read the timetable, assuming there is one. They never add new services in staffs so it's not like they will have to change the numbers ever again!

Same at the Ivy Bush citybound stop, where the X10 is listed before the X8.

Another incident in Solihull where S15 is listed before S2 on the Blossomfield Road/Charles Road stop
