NXWM service changes 15th Nov

[Stu]

@Stu there are rumors, no idea how true they are about the 70 between Chelmsley Wood and Solihull being withdrawn and the 73 moving to BC and being put on the Coleshill rota with the 59A, 56 and 70
With the Chelmsley Wood - City Centre part, like the 90 used to do still remaining.
I did also here a rumor about the 73 and 70 going to interwork.

Well we'll have to wait and see about that, but I'm pretty sure that is still at the rumour stage, and the 15th Nov change is just for the end of the Solihull Gateway works.

I told one of my friends who relies on the 53 to Merry Hill that it's being withdrawn, needless to say he wasn't happy to hear it.

I wonder what the route of the 50A/C will be, my thoughts are old 444 between Bearwood and Smethwick Galton Bridge, then 80 route to West Bromwich, and current 53 route back to Bearwood

@Sh4318 the 129s guna do the 53 to bearwood then normal line of route and the 50A/C doing 53 between londonderry and west brom

@Chris, I thought the 50A/C would, I'm wondering if it's going to serve Blue Gates or Mallin Street on the way to West Brom. No, the 129's going to do the 129 to the Plough and then do the rest of the 53 (Pound Road - Merry Hill). Completely eluding Hurst Road, Queens Head, Bristnall Hall Road.

@Sh4318 i think we guna wait til the changes are announced but with addition scanias may point to an increase to every 20 mins for 48s. But its all speculation and rumours but i would of thought the changes will be posted in the next week

Yes the 48 is going every 20 min

Saw on twitter from NXWM that the 70 is cut back to Chelmsley Wood, with extra buses on the 72.

Looking on NWM timetables for the 71 - a Sunday service between Chelmsley & Solihull. In addition to the 72, not or incorrect? 72 timetable is not up yet!

[monkeyjoe]

Probably means 71 / 72 being reduced to 20 mins each maybe.

[2206]

Theres currently a 70/1/2 every 7-8 mins. a 70/2 every 15mins, to maintain this they just need a couple extra 72s to Chelmsley. so the 72 would be every 15mins Solihull to Chelmsley, every 15mins City - Castle Brom, and every30mins City-Solihull unless the increase the whole route to every 15 mins

the 71 is being reduced to every 20 minutes

The 31 is being rerouted to serve Solihull Station. Not sure if already mentioned.

To Solihull, it'll turn into the Station, from Streetsbrook Road, and terminate in the Town Centre. And then out of the Town Centre, it'll pass through the Station again, and then continue on Streetsbrook to it's normal line of route.

A board of all the Solihull changes are in the garage, and this was one of the ones mentioned. From 15th Nov.
