26th January Changes

[notepanel]

Looking at the NWM site it's interesting that the 41 will now be operated by 3 operators - NXWM Mon-Sat daytimes, Arriva Mon-Sun evenings & WMSNT on Sunday daytimes!

In addition, whilst a 30 minute combined Evening frequency has been maintained (Mon-Sat) and a 25-35 on a Sunday daytime from Walsall, into Walsall most evening commercial 40 journeys are operating just 5 minutes behind the subsidised 41 service from Stroud Ave into Walsall. On a Sunday daytime there is a 10 minute gap between the two.

Think that's bad...the X96 at one stage had 4 operators - NXWM (M-S daytimes), Hansons (1 evening trip ex Dudley to MH), Diamond (Sundays) and Midland (M-S Evenings).

Then there was that odd stage when Midland and D&G dupicated jorneys on the 297B and X96.

What about the 71, there are 4 operators now, diamond on evenings & NX, claribels & sunny travel during the day. At one stage we even had VIP on Sundays making that 5 operators on one route. Now that's gotta be a record.

Did NX put a tender in for the 41?

On the 89, the leaflet indicates that the evening journeys are subsidised.

Is that the entire route or just a section?

[Trident 4609]

The last few journeys on the 89 have been subsidised since late October I think

Yes but which section? Wolves to Bloxwich or Bloxwich to Walsall!

I believe its the Bloxwich to Wolverhampton section

There has been an exhibition in Wolves Bus Station this afternoon about the changes. It states in the leaflet that new bus stops are being put in place along the 59 route, which although a lot have already been replaced, seems to have already taken effect with the existing bus stops along the route that new replacing have started to have new shelters installed.

It appears the Walsall Community Transport (Will pass to Arriva next Week)  65 service (Wolverhmpton-Wood-End) will have longer operating hours now its extending to
Fordhouses.

The 62/A will be allocated B6' still with the B6's having transponders fitted to activate the bus lane at Perton. These will come from some B7's that already have them fitted

Nathan, are all the WN B7s fitted with Transponders or only a few?

[Trident 4609]

Not to worry :) It appears the 62A will not serve Compton Square any or and will go straight to Perton.

I've heard there will be a few changes to which stand certain routes will depart from within Wolves Bus Station.
Does anyone know the details?
