Thanks @Stu I wasn't too sure if it did do the one way loop at Kinver because it never used to when it was the 228...That's the only reason why I asked...As I didn't know if TfWM got it right... does it show it on any other website as a loop or not?

It does the loop

Hi @V102MOA

Thanks for that.... What's the reasoning for it doing the loop? As it never used to do the loop when it was the 228..

I don't know, I thought the 242 was identical to the 228 in Kinver. How did the 228 turn around if it didn't do the loop?

I think we may be talking at cross purposes.... 😁 It did do the loop of  Meddins Lane & Windsor Crescent but it didn't do the following road.

Hyde Road..

This part of the route is new!! 😁

The 242 doesn't use Hyde Lane at all, that looks like a mistake on the WMCA website

Yes it does

Ok... Thanks for clearing that up..

I just want to know as well how come you've stopped doing the timetables with the map on you website? You used have the map of the route attached to the serive timetable PDF.

I don't know, sorry - I'm currently away at uni. I do have a copy of the old route map (i.e. before Merry Hill was removed) if you want it

That would be helpful thanks if you don't mind?!! 😁

So there no reason you can think of why the timetable haven't got a map attached to them anymore...I understand that you're at uni... How's it going during this lookdown? How are you coping?

I can't attach the map here due to file size limitations but if you want to PM me your email I'm happy to send it - I'll respond via PM anyway to keep this thread on topic.

Saw a Green Bus Olympian at Fox and Goose on Bromford Lane earlier. Looks like they've combined all of there school services (843, 844, etc) into a single service due to lockdown.
Whats more strange is the traking shows they've sent it down Chetwynd Road as well from Washwood Heath Road to Alum Rock Road. I've never heard of a bus going down there before, possibly the first time one ever has.
