Does that mean that the 73 is being curtailed, or have they just never changed the terminus on the license?

It's likely that the VOSA terminus details are out of date, as with numerous other examples. I wouldn't read anything in to that

This has been discussed previously. Nothing of the sort will be happening. Its merely old registration details.

I wonder what the WN changes are? especially to the 79!

I would hazard a guess the 3/4 and 54 would be something to do with I54? Maybe the 3 or 4 will extend to I54?

I think you will be VERY surprised, but don't PM me, I cannot say what the changes are until they are made public by either NWM or NXWM

[Tony]

Here are some of the changes I can post now

34, 34A, 38 and 39 - new service 34A has been introduced to operate every 20 minutes between Walsall and Rough Hay. Times have been revised on the 34, 38 and 39. Overall frequency between Walsall and Darlaston is increased to every 5 minutes.

79 - times have been revised to fit with the amended 39. The route in Darlaston has been changed with buses now operating to the same route as the 39 through Herberts Park.

74 & 75 - a new night service has been introduced on the 74 between Birmingham and West Bromwich, Carters Green. Buses now operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week between Birmingham and West Bromwich (except on Christmas Day and Boxing Day). There have been minor changes to times on the 75 to fit with the amendments to the 79.

3 & 4 - the 4 has been extended to Codsall every 30 minutes - via i54 and Pendeford Business Park. Combined with the 54, buses will operate up to every 15 minutes between Wolverhampton, i54 and Pendeford Business Park.

Wasn't expecting that one! Any reason why the night journeys won't go through to Dudley?

[wembley86]

can't believe the 74 is going 24hrs. Hopefully will save me some money on taxis from brum to wednesbury.

[Tony]

Ok you have surprised me!

Will the 4 serve I54 and Pendeford Business Park?

That's what the change above says!

Whats happening with the 3?

Why the 34A? I mean 34 goes there anyway. I assume the allocation will be B10Ls?

[mranon]

will the 3/4 being extended to codsall cancel any of the 5 service? reason i ask is that on a bilbrook fb page they were moaning at the amount of buses going through after the 54 started. will these services that serve the i54 actually go into it, or do the current stop outside moog

Presumably to keep it to just one bus required (assuming it is going to be hourly), like with the short night 50s. Shame really I actually think the full length route could have worked well, although I suppose if this proves successful there's nothing stopping it being extended in the future.

I'm guessing its just to add extra buses going along (debatably) the busiest part of the route, I'd imagine so probably interwork with 34/8

Just to ask does the change to the 79 mean it's going onto bilston rota. Theres been alot of talk from the drivers on Bilston that it could be moving over.
