I agree with splitting them at Stourbridge but the Wollaston routes need to be at least every 20 minutes otherwise they'd be degrading the service

Agreed which unfortunately would mean an increased PVR, plus you would be breaking links between Wollaston & Norton and Merry Hill and Dudley.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Centro staff (or volunteers) are out in force this week in Brierley Hill and Cradley Heath counting the number of people on buses - possibly the first stages towards the Bus Review.

Any idea why there were a group of Centro officials standing by stand C in merry hill bus station yesterday ?

Is there a chance the 126 could be split?

Would this make Wolverhampton the only depot without a Birmingham route?

@Westy the only depot without a Birmingham route is Coventry!

(thinking about it though dundee doesn't have one either but it's not a NXWM depot as it's a different nx company)

Also I am pretty sure Coventry falls under the Area Director / Management group or what ever they called as Yardley wood & Acocks Green.

I was under the impression Coventry had its own Managing Director albeit acting.

Centro have three exhibitions scheduled for people to give their views on changes to the Dudley and Sandwell Bus Network.  They are at Oldbury on Friday, Monday at Stourbridge and the following Monday (22nd) at Dudley.

Why Olkdbury, seems a bit odd when it is a Dudley bus review.

It now seems to be a Dudley and Sandwell Bus Review.  The on line questionnaire mentions areas of Sandwell as well as Dudley.

I'm disappointed, I shared this on my Facebook page earlier, and I was expecting the first response to be 'renumber the 141 as the 139'. Instead, the first response I got was 'be on time'.  :(

Which is a standard response that crops up on the Birmingham Mail Facebook page when a bus related story gets published. Do people really not understand how traffic works and what causes it?  ???
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

You really shouldn't expect anything with the even smallest element of sense to appear on Facebook.

The worst half of the Facebook users have the combined intelligence of Harry Styles, and that's saying something.

We're not all that bad.
