NXWM service changes 15th Nov

[Tony]

Andrew Lee at BC has indicated earlier in the thread that the 48 may be operating from Weoley to Northfield via the current 29 route, so may well be to do with that?

Yes, and converted to Scanias

Little disappointed by this change as swarthmore road now lose there direct link to Birmingham, which goes back to the days of the 44 service.

I suspect this was always on the cards from the moment the X64 was diverted to the hospital and gibbons road, but I would have much preferred to see the X64 going to Northfield as the Kitwell & woodgate areas already have a link to Birmingham

1944 was on the 48 earlier today around 2:30 I believe

Andrew has also referred to mysterious services 25 and 26. Remains to be seen whether these happen or indeed are part of the November changes (25 seemed to be linked to the 99 changes which look like they won't be happening this year). Maybe one of those will cover Swarthmore? It would be surprising to see it go from a 20 min link to the city to having nothing. That's assuming there is substance to these rumours of course.

Are the 29 & 48 effectively switching at Weoley Castle?

i.e. 29 will do Weoley Castle - Bartley Green
      48 will do Weoley Castle - Northfield

Winston, I think the 29 will also do Weoley to Northfield but via the current 29A route, i.e. via the Weoley Castle pub (not sure whether it will be numbered 29 or 29A though. 29 would make more sense). The 48 will do Weoley to Northfield via the current 29 route (Swarthmore Rd). That's what I've established from Andrew Lee's posts anyway.

Cheers Mike, I'm not overly familiar with that neck of the woods.

I am so confused about the 53/129? I thought there was no vosa registration for this and it was just rumour in the end at least for now?

Surely someone can fully confirm this now?

Its definately up at west brom garage on a poster in the traffic office so guessing west brom are going to operate the 50A/50C with pensnett taking over the 129 as suggested previously

If these changes do go ahead, I will be very surprised that no-one posted the relevant registrations changes from VOSA/DVSA when they were published.

[Tony]

Yes

PN - 129
WB - 50A/50C

That's because they haven't been published by DVSA yet
