Are details on the NWM website?

I haven't checked, but probably. A friend of mine posted them and he is one of the NWM travel ambassadors, or whatever their correct name is.

Nx site has info at least.

I know Diamond does Boxing Day work,  but does this mean Arriva are joining in or not as normally they don't?

I see nothing is mentioned for any Wolverhampton services yet. Unless they are all finishing at 18.30 apart from the 126

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I assume this means there will be no garages operating different routes? :(

what about the night journeys on the 97, take it they won't run early xmas day and early boxing day.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

That's an interesting point, is the Airport open on Christmas Day? As this service is provided for the benefit of airport workers (mainly) would there be Christmas Day journeys, if the airport is open?
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

The Airport is usually open for long haul flights but British Based Airlines such as Flybe/Easyjet etc don't operate :) Hope this helps a bit
