3 seems interesting don't really know the Wolves area too well but isn't that one of their upgraded xcity routes. Suspect a lot more registrations to appear, curious about that one. Guesses  on a postcard

[uniquicity]

43/43A is actually the 47/47A. It was originally going to be numbered that in the Sandwell review but got changed.

[Sh4318]

More changes for the 83/89... Sigh

[domino.99]

82 timetable change!?!?

[monkeyjoe]

They seem to be going through a period of re positioning timing points and improving reliability . I believe BC started some of the PB routes perhaps it's the black country areas turn. Random thought.

[Chris2301]

The X96 operating from Dudley to Wollaston Farm only. Maybe missing out Wrens Nest is to help reliability

[Chris2301]

82 timetable change!?!?

Looks like they are withdrawing the X96 from wren nest so the 82 may have a slight change to accommodate this

[Roy]

The start and end points on a registration sometimes bear no resemblance to the actual route.  The X96 change is timetable only, which means no change of route.  In addition, the 82 change is timetable only.

I have noticed the X96 has had some late runnings. Weird one was an X96E to Stourbridge on sunday.

could they not be changes after the reduced service for Christmas ? or could I be wrong ?

No sorry Andrew these are permanent changes and nothing to do with any Christmas Holiday Services.

As far as I am aware, Christmas services don't tend to have registered timetable changes, unlike the summer ones which are for a longer period of time.

I wonder if the changes to the 4 are a reaction to the upcoming competition from Arriva's 4 between Wolves and Pendeford.
Or it could be related to the "cancellation" of the 3.

I have a feeling the 3 cancellation just means it will just mean that it will be put onto the same registration as the 4. I cannot really see the 3 being cancelled
