I wonder what route the 311/313 will take between Dudley and Stour?

I think that's just another example of VOSA not updating the registration since the 311/313 were curtailed at Dudley & the 246 frequency increased

NX have also gained 424 and 650 routes

Variation Accepted: Operating between Aldrive School and Walsall given service number 7S effective from 27-Apr-2014. To amend Route and Timetable.

I believe they are relatively minor changes to the 311/3 (no longer serving Wednesbury Parkway) & 335/6 (no longer serving Wilbraham Rd).

The 7S will replace the 727, PM only.

Interesting to hear about the 424 & 650. I assume the 424 will be operated by PB using Solo (are there enough left?), but I'm unsure what garage would operate the 650.

Oh, I see. It does say "To amend Route", though

I know, but I'm saying it doesn't mean that the 311/313 will be going back to Stourbridge, just that the route will be amended between Walsall - Dudley only

That's a bugger taking it out of Wednesbury Parkway.

It gives me an extra minute to cross the road by there!

Things may have changed regarding the 424 & 650. That was the surprise I mentioned last month when I said watch for the forthcoming tender awards

That is a surprise-hopefully Diamond can manage to retain both of those routes...

Presume it's the journeys that were lost by VIP last year and were put out to emergency tender.
