Off peak I'd certainly spend the extra quid on the Metro compared to bus. £4 daysaver, £5 on metro. Old 79 was 100 minutes one way? Current Metro 40 minutes. So there and back, £1 extra to save 2 hours?

@uniquicity Would it change your mind if they reinstated the old 79 and did a return from Wolverhampton to City for £2.50

Nope. Time is more valuable. Money is nothing.

This.

Your time is priceless. Don't forget this

The changes for routes 58,59,60 and 73 state "Route amended between Coventry Road and Bordesley Circus junction."This does not seem possible to me. Also the 17 follows the same route as the 73, but is not mentioned.

The whole point of splitting the 79 was that congestion elsewhere made the Wolverhampton end horrendously unreliable.

The only way I can see it being the case is roadworks, I can recall one that happened a while back in this section of the route. It involved buses turning into Cattell Road and join the 97 route into city centre (perhaps back to Bordesley circus via ring road if nxbus wishes so).

It seems the Metro works may take place from July. Maybe it refers to minor route changes out of Wolverhampton (i don't have a clue btw, i'm just thinking of possible explanations.)

What Metro works is this?

It's nice to see that NE take notice of the finding of the consultation, rather than in London where the outcome of the consultation is known before it even starts!!
