I rode 115 om the 09:54 from Merry Hill to City today, very fast Trident arriving at Town Hall at 10:43. Sadly not many passengers between Merry Hill & Bartley Green, although did get half a bus full past Bartley Green.

The Green Bus timetable to me says that it is every hour, although i did seem to see them regularly so who knows. Would have thought VOSA would have had to approve a timetable change?

The timetable on the NWM website now shows the service as half-hourly through the day.

Matt, do you know if this service is subsidised at all by Centro, or is it fully commercial?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Optare spectras on there today aswell as tridents

John

Currently on 123. The Spectra is 203. 111 and 118 (as well as 123) are the Tridents.

112 overheated on the 22 this morning. Made it as far as Bartley Green from Birmingham, where the driver put us onto the 002 (ex Diamond driver). Have not seen its replacement yet

OH25

currently sat on 203
just saw 123 and there are two Presidents on there too

I reckon 203 will do the 14:54 ex Merry Hill, juding by the time my mother said she saw it.

203 is on the 1454 (only just missed it!) and 1724 (rough guess) ex merry hill

They picked one of the best ones to put on the 22. Currently sat on 203, reminds me just how much they wipe the floor with NXWM's Spectras!

203, a PO51 Trident, 111, 118, 123 are the 5 buses on the 22

Nothing wrong with step entrance. Stops the local delinquents (sorry - loving parents) with their massive tanks (sorry - 3 baby in one pushchairs)

Only problems with step entrance is that it's not disabled friendly (which in this day and age is required more now than ever especially with cut backs to ring and ride etc.)

The PO51 Trident is the replacement for 112 this morning

I got off at Town Hall John (I had a black coat on). Was spotting buses at Merry Hill beforehand. The PO51 Trident on the 22 is 103

Don't think 118 likes the wifi to work on my Android...
