Service Changes from 20th July

[Liverpool Street]

Hmm, @Mike K, that's a point... I know some of the buses has been bricked around Basil Road and Norrington/Borrowdale, maybe it's that reason?

Is the 140 going to still interwork with the 241? As this is already quite a fragile link what with Birmingham traffic, Halesowen traffic, Dudley traffic its going to be so unreliable

Logic dictates the interworking will be discontinued, the 241 is seldom on time coming into Halesowen as it is, without having to force its way into Merry Hill.

Of course, if it does follow the 297 route up to Merry Hill, there won't be any more deckers on it. Although, without the interworking with the 140 they'd be able to use O405Ns.

Didn't @Stu have a suggestion to extend the 241 to merry hill on his facebook page ?

I believe so, 140; 141 & 241 are all going on the same registration with Vosa, so 141 may show as withdrawn. 141 & 241 should give a combined 15 min frequency adn both follow same route!

127 extended to Dudley. 205 cut short

So Old Hill rail station is losing a bus service?

Is the 127 taking the same route as the 140/241 or will it take another route ?

Wonder which end the 297 changes are this time. Not that long since the merry hill to halesowen end was changed.

297 losing Halesowen to Merry Hill

Frequency increase on the 141 to every 20 mins to compensate for the loss of the 297 between H'owen & Merry Hill?

But what then serves Coombs Rd / Old Hill Station?

241 extended to Merry Hill

Hmmm, didn't see that one coming.

Are you able to confirm the rest of the Pensnett route changes?

Wonder how they will extend the 241 to Merry Hill?

They may send it down the way the 222 went, is that the same way as the 141 does currently?

See three posts above yours

241 to merry hill?

[the trainbasher]

Unless the 244 will serve Old Hill Station again?

Could do, until we get the route confirmed its all speculation. What is happening with the 244

[domino.99]

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??

If you look it said colmore row so its just a new terminus. :)

I think that's an old terminus left on the registration

Goodbye to the WB working on the 241!
