NXWM Changes 24/07/16

[andy41]

Any news on the previous rumour that the 966 is ditching the Erdington end? I see the 38 is revised which may have something to do with this but nothing there on the 966.

What are they doing to cover the deregistered X56? (If anything)

[Metroman]

@Metroman , Karl says

Colmore row all stops to five ways
First stop Hagley road after five ways under pass
Ivy bush
Portland road
Gillett road
Sandon road
Bearwood after lights
Wolverhampton road
Jeffersons
Quinton.

Sure that is similar to the old X2, 902 Limited stop services between Birmingham & Hasbury

Thank you.

@andy41 an extension on the 937 (i assume a single trip extending)

wouldn't be easier to extend a 936 journey as it is peak only service !

Thanks. I find the commuter routes around there pretty confusing now compared to what went before.

Why dont they try running a proper service instead of these peak only journeys?

[markcf83]

I agree entirely, the system for 2xx for Dudley/Stourbridge, 3xx for Walsall, 4xx for Sandwell and 5xx for Wolverhampton was a good system

As do I. At least then I knew where I stood.

Its a valid point although Im assuming NX would but they dont think the demand is their ?

[monkeyjoe]

Looks like the Coventry road services have a route change, could that be connected to Brum city centre changes ?

I honestly think making the X56 a regular service between Burntwood or Brownhills and Birmingham wouldn't be a bad idea. It's a fast way into Birmingham which I think more people would use if it was a proper service. But I can also see a possible demand for Burntwood as I've seen the 10's load. When I did a round trip on it before I noticed a few people used the 10 to connect to Birmingham bound services.

Surely though if the demand was there for an all day service, there would be one. The 155 and before that the 944 provided an all day service between Birmingham and Burntwood / Boney Hay but there hasn't been a daytime service for years now.

[monkeyjoe]

City centre route changes ?

[Tony]

Most of the lists now seem to have the correct terminal points, so I wonder if someone at DVSA is now correcting them on the system and because terminal points are changed they show as route changes as well as timetable
