I really wish they'd leave the route numbers the f**k ALONE.  Waste of time and needless confusion.  Tossers.

I agree it doesn't seem all that long ago that they went from 102/4/5/14 to 902/4/5/14 so it seems pointless to me for this X* numbering system. Really NXWM should just leave them as they are, but NXWM/TfWM will do what they deem fit with the route numbers

I have to say the national express marketing team are pretty crap shouldn't they be pushing these changes in peoples faces by now and offering free trials,  making sure people know about it. I thought my marketing team were crap.

Not sure about the 114. But the 102/4/5 changed almost 17 years ago. So it has been quite a while. But I am in agreement that I don't like route number changes and lack of promotion. 4th December is going to be very confusing for many people.

Hope they've got the leaflets ready?

Notice Walsall has run out of the 902 etc leaflet already!

I agree, these service changes are going to be very confusing for many.

Back in 1960s Midland Red ran some Limited Stop services radiating from Birmingham - I recall an X8 Birmingham to Walsall and there was another to Hasbury. So this approach does have its precedents - most of the X services linked beyond the County Boundary however - such as to Bewdley, Redditch etc.

Yep
The X5/X6/X7 all ran through or to Redditch then on to Evesham. With NXWM going down this road it makes hard for the old MR/MRW route numbers to be revived if an operator wanted to at any point.

They are getting them out fasssst now!

Remember when BC had new buses in the past they would take an eternity to enter service.

6711 parked up at BC with X10 branding. It's no surprise that the colour of it is green.
