NXWM Proposed Service Changes

[BK63 YWP]

Will the 529 be ever renumbered? 52 perhaps? They are proposing to renumbered the 301/302/311/313

[Steveminor]

@Winston it would make sense to use this thread to mention all proposed service changes for nx rather than set up a new one each time.

[monkeyjoe]

Interested in these east brum changes , who's going to start the other thread.

However do we think, one of the other routes like the 5 might go platinum then that's every district covered

[Bob]

I've always thought the renumbering of services was pointless and stupid. What was wrong was 2xx 3xx 4xx etc? It had worked well for years

[Steveminor]

Yeah I know what you mean cause monkey Joe mentioned the 5 but now unless he says which 5 it is then no one knows which area he's talking about

[winston]

@Steveminor I'm guessing that's the intention behind it, considering this topic is pinned

The original idea of this thread was to post/comments suggestions for the 'actual' proposed service changes being considered / planned to be implemented in WA, WN, Sandwell & Dudley.

@Steveminor The East Birmingham suggestions are little more the rumours at present, nothing official has been proposed for the travelling public to comment on. As a result the thread is just filling up with everything & anything.....

[Stu]

I would also strongly recommend that if anyone has any genuine views/opinions on the proposed service changes for Walsall/Wolverhampton (or any others as mentioned in the linked document) that they should also express them through the 'official channel', ie the email address shown.

It may be the case that NX staff are monitoring this thread, but if it gets clogged up with 'general banter', some salient points may get missed.

@Stu - No need, I was intending on emailing all the 'relevant' comments to the email address before the cut off date in addition to this thread, Winston.

There are enough other threads to discuss which might be the next Platinum route / Rumours of East Birmingham Changes etc

Oh, so that is why NX are running the 54 to Stafford; 154 to Hednesford; extending the 937 to Boney Hay; the 11 to Leamington, not long extended journeys on the 50 into Worcestershire as the 50A?

yes but nx could have pushed the 54/154 more, and ensured up to date information was available outside the centro area. i.e timetable cases at bus stops. timetables actually available on the buses etc

Not a cat in hell's chance.

NXWM don't like operating beyond the West Midlands border collie.

hahahaha love it

To be fair they've regularly had timetables on board which is more than Arriva do. Not even having timetables for their sapphire services in Walsall bus station

[mranon]

nx own timetables were not available after the 20th September changes. it was only the drivers grabbing the centro ones as and when they could to hand out

I told them via Facebook.

Nothing yet.

I think it is a good idea to reroute a bus through Bentley bridge, many people go there proberly more than Wednesfield town, wish they would reroute some 59 services through new cross, the hospital is getting bigger more people go there but the bus service to it has to be one of the worst in the country. Years ago diamond did try operated the 59H but gave up on it without really trying.

The old 560/908 used to go through there. Reason gave was that looping the hospital added to unreliability.

If anyone has any further comments on the proposed changes listed below, please post them here by midnight Mon 28th, as I will be emailing them the following morning,
