NXWM service changes from 26th April

[Westy]

How long are they expecting the B10Ls to continue, as if they are using those on the 34a, they cant display Rough Hay can they?

(Any chance of one final update to the remaining roller blinds Tony? Could do with updating the Darlaston corridor  group of destinations from what Ive seen out & about, seeing theres no longer an Nx route between Darlaston & Willenhall!)

Does that mean there is no direct route between Moxley & Darlaston now, only via Rough Hay area?

It can be just as quick going via the current 39 route anyway, missing out the traffic lights and not having to go up to the roundabout to U-turn (although the 79 doesn't need to)

[:D]

Quite surprised that the 74's going 24/7. Was expecting for either the 9 on Hagley road or 51 on Walsall road to go 24/7 first.

Is the timetable change on the 900 going to be major or it's just minor re-timing?

Do the 50 and 97 use deckers at night?

[Liberator9]

I think so - 50 certainly does.

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.

Whats happening with the 3?

Timetable amendments to fit changes I would think

Both routes use deckers at night.

@Sh4318 correct. The 3 is now on the same registration as the 4 on VOSA so any changes to the 4, the 3 will appear on there as a result.

Both routes use deckers at night.

Thanks. Was thinking they should put Mercs on the 74 :p

Curious about the 97 & 14 route changes is that in the Chelmsley wood area or are they scrapping the 97 night bus and bring out a 14 night bus ha ha.

There have been minor changes to times on the 75 to fit with the amendments to the 79.

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

I suspect that means they can probably operate the service using just 1 bus at a guess.

opps already posted.

Indeed, funded by i54. Although Arriva have registered changes to the 76 for a similar time I envisage a variation to that to come along before the 26th April...

That is why I wasn't allowed to mention it! Bob will be able to get to Wolverhampton just after 6am if he wants to!

But I bet he won't slag off NXWM if something is not right in the style of Arriva...
