Pensnett is also part of Brierley Hill, Pensnett is not in Kingswinford and neither is PN garage nor the Trading Estate

"Thank you for contacting us about the withdraw of our 141 service. I'm sorry for the upset caused.

We regularly review our services as well as our network as a whole to ensure that we are meeting the needs of customers. Following such a review of the 141 service, we decided to withdraw the service and replace it with a new limited stop X10 service between Five Ways and Quinton.

While I appreciate your comments about the X51, the X51 route does have better road infrastructure. The new service will operate at an increased frequency of every 20 minutes, serving a limited number of stops between Birmingham and Quinton to speed up journey times for customers. It also improves the frequency of buses between Halesowen and Birmingham . These changes reflect changing demands from our customers.

I'm sorry that this has not resulted in a service that meets your needs. Having said that, I can assure you that we will monitor the effectiveness of the changes and consider all customer feedback when we review our services again in the coming months.

Thank you for contacting us and giving me the opportunity to explain our position."

Around Bentley Centro have already replaced the 40 timetables with those for the 37, also the new 41 timetables, but with nothing to say that there is still a fortnight before these services start.

[Dutsey]

I rode the 40 Saturday afternoon and have to say it was very lightly loaded.

Aint there a date on the timetable?

Yes, top left in the orange strip, same with all NWM bus stop timetables.

[Stuharris 6360]

Problem is that we know these jobs have to be done well before the event happens, however people don't always look for what date the timetable starts. If they are looking for there bus on the timetable and it's shown, they are just going to look for the next departure, they are going to think that the timetable may be changing in a fortnight and the departure shown may not actually exist.

Surely in these modern times, all stops should be equipped with modern equipment that shows the timetable applicable on that particular day?

Does anyone know if they still have that prototype timetable board at Oldbury Interchange, the one that used e-ink displays, same as used in Amazon Kindle devices?

The thing is there would be a huge initial cost of rolling those out to all bus stops, but in the long term how much money would be saved just by being able to 'push' a display update as and when a timetable changed, rather than the expense of printing off new displays and having someone go and install them?

Not sure where to put this but, has anyone noticed the totem pole by bus shelter MS10? That's the last stop on Moor Street just before the bus gate onto PQY. It's showing services stopping there: 7, 9, 9s, 10, 10h, 22, 23, 24. It's not changing onto the second page so I presume the 29 is on there too. I'd heard that as the work at Paradise progresses then the City Centre loop will be reversed for the HB services. Looks like it's happening.
