quick question

I remember there used to be a service which ram to Fort Dunlop and in city it had FORT on the flags but not any more

Any idea where I can get a timetable for it as it still runs I've seem but want to catch it :-) I hope they accept SWIFT cards

I don't think there is a printed timetable for it as I've never seen one. I think it is a peak time only service. Have you looked on the NWM site? Thandi operate it, so if they accept Swift, then you might be ok (unless the FORT bus don't accept them)

Isn't that the timetable from when Green Bus ran it, I think it only runs at peaks now.

It only runs at peak times now I can confirm. I think twice in the morning (0730~ & 0830~ from New. St) and twice in the 'noon. (1730~ & 1830~) I've seen it at or around those times.

To addition, I have clocked at the timetabled times a white Transit MiniBus with "Fort Dunlop" on a piece of paper in the windows. So it does still run in the off peak, but using Transits.

Ah
Wonder if I contact Thandi they can provide a timetable?

They got Wayfarer Mk2 so no ITSO certified machine to put smart cards on so SWIFT won't work on this occasion

The Transits you see are run by 'Forward Birmingham' a free service for certain employees run as non-PSVs and is completely seperate to the Thandi service
