Competition on the 29 good stuff, sound like a crap operator no sat service. Looks like more still to go up.

Finally see what NX were playing at with all these old supposed changes for February '14.

Not yet, I'd created a thread as I'm assuming that the 30th March will now be the date for the South B'ham Review changes?

More then likely, it always stated 'End Of March' with registrations from 26-01-2014.

What makes you say that, because of competitors and commercial sensitivity.

I find it difficult to read that comment. Did you mean it as a question? If so, then yes. Any company, even DTS Ltd, is competition. And I hope you realise the complaints about the NX29? If the DTS is on time, all the time, then the none-NXOnly pass users would use them, and even maybe RELY on them. I doubt it, but reliability and trust do come with time.

I stopped using buses nearly 15 years ago only when I've or run out of taxi dosh.

Imagine the state of Brum urban traffic, there must be loads of issues. I hated my dear old 94/93/92 back in the late 90's christ knows what it's like now. I tend to drive up and down the motorways with my job now, so avoid urban traffic. Not sure how bus drivers do it.

Yes I forgot to use one of these ? . My grammar is getting worse.

No problem mokeyjoe. Yes I must wholeheartedly agree with you. The traffic is true state. Hopefully with these Gold Corridors it'll be improved but the company can't just keep giving time on the timetables without clocking on some things kicked off. The positive with the Bristol Road a lot of the bottlenecks do have the advantage of bus lanes, but the car drivers again spoil it. What annoys me is they know the bus goes straight on, and they're turning left.. so what negative impact does giving way -as stated in the highway code - to the bus have on them? Nothing. They just don't want to be behind the bus
Ever. Even if that means risking life and limb. Which I've seen regularly.

If the 94 became a gold corridor, then i would consider using it but can't see it happening, especially now Lea Hall has gone.

Wasn't the 94 one of the 'neglected' routes after the closure?

[monkeyjoe]

I still stand by that, as an observer. :)

Watch out for a couple of very interesting tender awards coming soon!

Could the 59A route change be something to do with Dunster Rd, Chelmsley Wood. It is currently closed while they complete roadworks, and due to re-open 30th March so they may be changing it. Ive read that residents want the 70 to operate slightly differently in the Dunster Rd area.
