Corporation Street?

There are now a few more on VOSA.  I have trimmed them down to just show the number, route and change.  The problem with VOSA registrations is that route numbers and routes may be out of date.  It will be interesting to see when the changes are announced.  If previous reorganisations are anything to go by, Centro will probably not announce anything until they organise roadshows a week or two before 27 April.  Then you can go along and find out that some of the new timetables haven't been printed yet. 
Both Bristol and Brighton have large changes starting on 13 April - in both cases, the changes are already posted on the internet with timetables promised during March.  I bet it doesn't happen here.

Roy,

I'd already tagged them on to your original post

[Liverpool Street]

So my routes are 100% changing then. The 49 is a new registration details and same for the 45/47. Good bit of stuff for April then :) Maybe the Sunday timetables will now be possible to follow?

Roy,

Sorry about that Winston.  I hadn't looked back to the previous page.

I notice that, of the routes in the original consultation document, there are no changes (yet?) for the 8A, 8C, 58, 59 or 60.

[nitromatt1]

I'm intrigued by the 98/99 going to Rowley Regis station & Hayley Green?

No worries Roy, I probably should have posted something to let people know that had already seen your post, thought it was best to keep them altogether......

Matt, don't get too intrigued  :P

it's VOSA again. Those registrations date back to pre the current 99 when the 636 & 637 used to run there

[bususer12]

I thin the 297 registration says it is inbetween Dudley and Stourbridge, depsite the fact its been changed so much, both terminus are different.

[P419 EJW]

I have to agree, the previous numbering system of 200's (Dudley), 300's (Walsall), 400's (Sandwell), 500's (Wolverhampton) was a good system, it should have been left alone, I saw an OAP picking up a 7 timetable in Walsall Bus Station, I just noticed that it was the City to Perry Common service 7 where as she wanted the 7 Walsall to Castlefort service. All this could have been avoided.

I know right? Did people really find it so hard to remember one additional number? Again, it's graduates with degrees in power. As I'm sure you can imagine, I'd much further respect management when they've worked up from the bottom of a business. Not come in upper management straight from a poxy University. The old way was the best way.

I vehemently concur. I prefer the 2/3/4/5/600's system because it was easy to recognise the numbers and which area it served. It didn't cause confusion. I was and still am confused as to why the system got scrapped and changed to similar numbers. That number system was great... They should have left it as it was! It is evident that there are confusion caused by the preposterous and pointless transition of the number system.

Some interesting changes here, so the 1 is going to get extended to Shirley then? (presumably only during daytimes). And the 31 is only going to Solihull, with the 3 going to the Green Business Park.

Not quite the major changes I was expecting, but there may still be more to come!

I wonder if the 49 journeys to Land Rover in Solihull will just be occasional journeys, same as you get on the 37.

Stu where you getting the first paragraph from, is that just guessing or have I missed something.

Also wondering if that could first deliveries of some new buses for 2014 ? Well  just making that up.

Ignore my last post, i see it on the VOSA site dur on my behalf, it's been a long day.

Someone did ask me in Selly Oak where he could catch the 49. Did they mean the WB 49 or the YW one. I did ask him which one but he could easily have been sent a long way from where he wanted to be.

No existing services have been cancelled and there doesn't appear to be any new ones to date

Would expect some more registrations are due, i wonder whether the 8 will go untouched or have they decieded to reroute it?
