I'm just wondering do different fares actually apply for services dparting or goingoutside the Midlands? If so which services/areas do this apply to. I I'd think it applied to Staffordshire eg the 255/6,WN5,WN10,WA6 however it seems that those fares don'tapply on those routes even for people boarding in the areas in Staffordshire eg it says the nx site  says a child fare for someone boarding or alighting in Staffordshire,Warwickshire and Worcestershire is £1.35 however on routes like the WA6 (Little Aston),255/6 (Wombourne,Himley,Swindon and Hinksford),WN 5 (Cods all) and the WA/WN10 (Burntwood/Perton) normal £1.05 fareusully seems to just apply

Ive always just bought a daysaver in cannock

The cut off point for an N bus used to be the kernel cafe between bloxwich and cannock

The only two routes I can think of at the moment where the normal maximum single fare does not apply are the X51 (Cannock) and 11 (Leamington). Even on both of those normal NXWM daysaver rules apply

Im just glad the x51 still runs tony! Invaluable to be fair

I remember in the days of WMPTE when different (more expensive) fares would apply on services that went outside the west midlands boundary and when travelcards were valid on a service like the 256 (556) between Stourbridge & Wolverhampton, but you couldn't board or alight outside the boundary.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Slightly aside but does anyone know what happens with the fare structure on Diamond's 202:
Since from Halesowen it enters Worcestershire as it goes on it's way into Frankley, then enters Worcestershire again for part of Rubery, and then finally enters Worcestershire again from Rednal onwards to Bromsgrove?

Whilst inside the West Midlands, I have had a couple of things said to me recently that have made me query a couple of school services.

Are the 701/703 (Thomas Moore) & 886 (KEHS) 'Available to the General Public' and do normal fares apply on these routes? On the 701 for instance the school has 'Bus Monitors' and a seating plan - I was just wondering how enforceable these were in practice?
