Dudley Bus Review 2015

[spudnick]

Two buses per hour on the 18 extended from Bartley Green to Merry Hill via Halesowen, covering the 141/241.

Extending the 18 to Halesowen was an idea which seemed to be doing the rounds during last years South Birmingham Bus Review not sure whether it was the network planners or the drivers who suggested it, while Merry Hill would be useful can't see a complete Yardley Wood - Merry Hill service being operated reliably, its bad enough just with Northfield on the route.

I'm sorry but have it missed something here? Has it even been announced that there is for definite going to be a review of the bus network in and around Dudley? Or is this thread entirely just speculation and what people want to happen?

It's been mentioned in a couple of news articles relating to changes to the 297 and 289 services recently, that a major review of services in Dudley will take place in 2015. But as of yet, nothing has been announced, and no consultation has yet started. So will probably happen later in the year, probably late summer at a guess.

About the 12, 13, and 14 service?

Nope, the 12/13/14 have been introduced seperately, but there will be a review of the whole Dudley bus network later this year

I asked Network West Midlands about this on their Facebook page and this is their reply:

There is a review of the Dudley network scheduled to start early summer which will be completed in the autumn. The format has not been finalised yet but we will keep you posted as soon as there is any news.

I do hope that the review is better than the last Birmingham review where they just published a list of suggestions and asked people on there thoughts to these suggestions.

As @Roy has mentioned that  there will definitely be a review this year, let's discuss the potential changes here as they happen.

I'm just hoping that the 140 stays as it is, nice quick route into birmingham.

@bususer12  Or shall was just use the existing thread.....

[Dutsey]

Is the 140 the quickest way to Brum from Dudley? Is the 74/87 not quicker?

[Sh4318]

Is the 140 the quickest way to Brum from Dudley? Is the 74/87 not quicker?

The 140 & 87 both take 51 minutes. The 74 takes over an hour.

I don't think the 140 will ever change, route wise
