Something I'm a bit confused about, on the NWM website, it states that the 120 will be running a normal Sunday service after 19:00 on Boxing Day, on the NXWM website, the 120 isn't listed as one of the routes that runs after 19:00

In this case I think you can presume that if NWM states it is running in the evening, then it is

From my experience, assume nothing. Maybe another operator will run the evening services?

Will be interesting to see if all garages are open all Boxing Day, or for instance will WB take over PEs services at 19:00?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

It's not really that much of an issue, I have the 80 and 87 available. It's just weird how they're both saying different things, but surely the 120 is one of those routes you would consider for a full service rather than finishing early, last year it lasted until 8

Don't think the Network West Midlands website is very clear, it says for instance black country route 5 operates after 19:00, which one, WN or WB? I know it is the WB one, but with other customers?

That indeed is a possibility, and one that did cross my mind.

yes indeed, especially as they will probably have to open the Trading Estate specially.

Are PE running their own daytime Boxing Day services this year then?

Ok, I didn't see that post, PE won't have that many buses out if they do run evening services. 4 for the 9, 2 for the 120 (if it is indeed running) and 2 for the 141

Most definetley it was refering to WB 5 as WN certainly isn't and wouldn't operate till late on Boxing Day but i agree they should make it more clear which route they arevrefering to eg WN or WB5

That depends if PE run the service all day. Presumably special running boards will have been written for the day, so you never know!
