Service Changes from 20th July

[Liverpool Street]

Been confirmed that the 900 will have 2 journeys of which are in the middle of the night, and adjustment of route from original to allow for the left turn at the Cargo and then it'll follow its own bus only road into the NEC and terminals.

Apparently some other duty changes as well, but those details I don't know about.

I have made this it's own topic as when it's put on the Notices & Proceedings I'm sure @Winston will post it here.

@Liverpool Street is the 900/966 not using the new bus only road from start of June?  Sure that's what it says in NWM site? I'll check when I'm home

[JPC]

Yes, Matt is correct, Centro suggests the serving of the new bus road commences 8th June (ref)

I will commend the 24hr service as long as they're full trips to Coventry. ;)

Note the following is just me guessing/what I think should happen based on the existing timetable so will hope the new journeys are:
0000*, 0120, 0240 and 0400S from Moor St to Coventry
0010^, 0120, 0240 and 0400S from Coventry to Moor St

* = existing 900E journey extended to Coventry.
^ = replaces the existing 0034 900E from BHX to Moor St but re-timed 10 minutes later.
S = Sunday morning only, otherwise there will be some gap in the timetable.

@Matt.N0056 Whoops, thanks for that. I'll have to check my sources again, but the overnight is from 20th July, I'm sure.

[:D]

Would this overnight service be the 900A? Also does it mean the 900 will become a 24 hour service?

I was confused for a while about how the bus only road join up the dual carriageway as buses coming towards Birmingham would have to cross the carriageway in order to join it, but I've recently found out that it was joining from using cargo terminals road. This might be useful to anyone who's confused like I was.

so the 244 is cancelled, so wonder what will replace it

[danny]

Wonder what the route changes to the 126 will be. Hazard a guess the line of route throw city centre or wolvo. Can't really mess much with a route that end to end is virtually a strait run??

Could be rerouting it back into Dudley Bus Station following the market works?

[Roy]

I'm guessing that some of the route changes will be due to the A38 Tunnels Closures in Birmingham City Centre from 18 July to 1 September.

[Stuharris 6360]

@Roy Had forgotten about the tunnel closures again.

I for one don't believe that they are going to just cancel the 244, more likely it is a registration tidying up exercise with the route interworking with the 243

Correct!

[domino.99]

I do wonder how they will change it? (244 that is)

See above, they are not! Although watch Vosa tomorrow for a few route changes in the area
