So the 3 is going to be Rugeley to Walsall not Rugeley -Brownhills then?

[the trainbasher]

The new registrations plus the changes to the 530 look like tender changes

Not necessarily, DVSA very bad at amending their route description information.

[Bob]

That would be unpopular though , people in Norton would lose their link to walsall. The 33 used to be busy to be fair.  Looks like arriva have messed that up too

[Ashley 60171]

I'm curious about the 62 cancellation. Very wishful thinking but don't suppose NX are having it back and putting it back to what it used to be?

Hopefully they do. Either NX will get it back or another route for Igo or maybe Diamond

Igo and Diamond weren't interested last year when NX wanted to get rid of the service, why would they change their mind 11 months later?

Someones got to run the service unless its completely withrawn?

[woody38]

Anybody now what's happening to the 10 A B

[646]

62/A has reached natural expiry.  Outcome not announced yet. Any approved operator can submit a price.

10 changes are to aid reliability of the 10B school journeys, now renumbered 10S which also facilitates a couple of extra trips where there are gaps currently.

Odd its not on the list of the October changes, which are being implemented November 15th as mentioned above. List I have seen doesn't look complete as Walsall Community Transport 26 is not listed and I know that was a 52 week contract...

[the trainbasher]

Some tenders were not released on the main sheet then as they were no doubt still up for tender

[Bob]

Wonder why they're curtailing the X70 already? Why have a massive network review then massively  change things again 7 or 8 weeks later?

I've genuinely lost track of some of these services they've been chopped and changed so much. I also dread to think how much paper Arriva waste printing stacks of leaflets for services changed weeks later...
