NXWM service changes 30th August

[B.C Driver]

There will be a 15A and 15C. I'm thinking this will cover both the 115 and 66A

Also the 952 is reverting back to the 52, and there will be a 52A again (don't know the details of this though)

Good, an extra bus that ISNT limited stop between City and Perry Barr.

The 33 and 51 have been getting flooded along that stretch, so this should help out a bit

Whats going to happen to the 115s between birmingham and sutton coldfield if its getting replaced by the 15A/C

[monkeyjoe]

Don't know the area well but might suggest the 52 corridor might be dying of death being made longer and no frequency increase. Curious to know if people might be walking (within reason of course) and using either X51 or 997.

Birmingham via Walmley corridor will it only be 2 buses and hour now or a 20 min 914.

Birmingham - Erdington via Lichfield Rd. What's occurring here?

Nothing is replacing it between Birmingham and Erdington (It is very quiet along this section of route). The new 15A/C is replacing the 115 between Erdington and Sutton

[Kevin]

Ho hum.
Finally the death of the link from Lichfield Rd area to Erdington. What's the betting they aren't improving the 66 to compensate?
And what for the residents of Walmley? A reduction in service "but don't worry you can get the 904 all the way through Sutton instead"

Precisely!  I hope we do get a 20 minute frequency 914 to compensate.  We don't all want to go to Good Hope / Sutton Coldfield, thank you very much ....  >:(

They always seem to be messing with the Sutton services, loads of investment and still not getting it right. (Changes could suggest, train all the way if i lived there.

Will the 904 serve the newish estate on the 68 used to cover would make more sense and give people links to the train etc.

The new 52 is going to be every ten minutes, so a frequency increase, not 'dying a death'

People living in Walmley would always choose the 914 over the 115, so are getting a frequency increase on the route they actually use.

So they increase the frequency of Sutton to Birmingham direct services from every 7/8 minutes to every 6/7 but its because they are still not getting it right?

Haven't you thought these changes might be because they are getting it right and more people are wanting to use the services
