222 is a good call! Quite a lot of elderly residents use it round Russell's Hall, Pensnett and imagine there are possibly a greater amount of fare paying passengers that use it as the 246 is a lot of students/workers who travel to Stourbridge who have Travelcards.

It always seems to be quite busy as well as NXWM over the last few years have reduced the frequency twice leading in some cases for some quite crowded buses leaving Dudley

GRS were out on the 246 today with R182YLA. It only had one passenger on board when approaching Russells Hall from Dudley with a NXWM Trident about a 1min behind

I thought it was R182VLA but I could be wrong (always get Y's and V's mixed up!)

They are registered to run Mon - Sat every 20 mins, whether the fact it makes a difference being a bank holiday Monday I'm not sure?

Are GRS having much impact on NX's passenger numbers at present?

Just saying despite it being a few days ago GRS operated the 246 on monday despite it being sunday service. There being really serious about it, aren't they.
