Broad street diversions outbound now 15/11/15 not 8/11/15

Presumably for that number of services/journey options to be cut from Londonderry suggests that the existing services weren't being used sufficently

I love how Warley get to keep their service to West Brom, but I'm going to stop now at the risk of sounding bitter, just very disappointed by the changes after the promise the Sandwell network review gave.

interesting reading that

The most interesting bit to me is the drop in services to West Brom

I just feel sorry for people affected by the changes. If you're going to withdrawn a route that runs on my road (46), at least explain how the alternative is going to serve me.

The NWM page states next to the 46: "Route between West Bromwich and Londonderry will replaced by new services 50A and 50C."

It amazes me that there's still no map on the NXWM site for the 50A/C, and NWM/Traveline still fail to have even added a timetable at the very least!

We have no idea of the exact roads to be served by the 50A/C and we're only 5 days away from the changes taking place.

I fear for the passengers on Norman Rd and Alexander Rd; based on the limited info I can glean from the PDF timetable, I have a terrible feeling that the service will completely omit these roads and just follow the 127/8/9 to the George Pub.

I can visualise bus stops reading "not in use" very soon...

There is a Warley map.




Procrastinating today, too much to do lol

Thanks for this, I couldn't find a link anywhere for that.

I can't believe it, they actually did it, they left Alexander Road with nothing!

Can't say I'm particularly happy about this change...

EDIT: I also notice, there's a section of road in Londonderry (Bristnall Hall Rd leading onto Londonderry Rd) which has also most likely been left with no bus service, unless Centro decide to re-route something else down that way.

So is any of the "west side" going to benefit, don't as familiar with this part of the network, but looks like cuts on quite a few of the corridors. I mean will the 29 be able to cope with during the week reduced frequency for example?  I don't really know enlighten me peeps.

Looking at the PDF map, the 50A/C routing is awful. If you need to get to Bearwood from the George or Londonderry, the 127-9, 120 are much better and quicker options, you might as well of left the 46 and keep the 53, can't see this route being used that well. Not to mention the new 50A/C omits Alexander Road, Barclays/St Mary's Road, Salop, Oval, William Road and Londonderry Lane, all roads the 444 served. Still no direct service between Blue Gates and Bearwood, I thought this new route could provide that as well as some more useful links. I wish we still had the 444

Some very good points there, an awful lot of roads have been omitted with no apparent replacement; something which NX fail to mention.

They are being very flexible with the truth here. Words such as "replacement" are used in a very loose manner.

This does all sound pathetic.
They've had how long to plan these changes properly? And as yet I've seen precisely nothing telling the public, only bits of information there for the public to find if they even knew to look for it in the first place

Only problem, some bits are still not correct eg: no mention of the 29 no longer going to Northfield
