October 2014 tenders - discussion

[D10]

I guess the 70 journeys are the Arriva ones.

Where's Wipton Road in Bloxwich?

I think that it a typo, should be W'pton Road Bloxwich. W'pton Road being an abbreviation for Wolverhampton Road.

If so, can someone in the know let us know whos got what please.

Won from NXWM, I wonder if that will render a couple of the SWB E200's redundant at WB?

[the trainbasher]

Or a couple of darts even??

[uniquicity]

The Darts will be long gone by 26th October anyway.

The E200's should be allowing all remaining Darts & B6LE's to be withdrawn by end of Sept

[uniquicity]

44 timetable would also need to be changed then as it interworks with the 41. Think the 44 is a 62 minute return trip with a 30 minute frequency
