[Dom]

Am I correct in saying a majority of these are just coming off summer timetables? @Dom - most yeah, Winston

Also very intrigued by the 801 Night Service.

Castlecroft? Surely a typo for Castlefort? I don't think the 7 goes to Castlecroft somehow...

Looks like a registration of the AG & YW staff bus

Thought so, said it to a couple of mates as soon as I saw it.

So if it's registered, does that mean the public can travel on it?

[Gareth]

So if it's registered, does that mean the public can travel on it?

I hope not. That's all drivers need in the middle of the night, all the Pensnett school kids pestering them about gearbox noises, interworking, running boards and cooling fans.

A friend of mine quite regularly drives the PN staff bus and he says it is normally very quiet.

[Stuharris 6360]

Just had my weekly copy of email from Network West Midlands showing

75     Withdrawn
79     Frequency increased to "up to every 10 mins"
39     To operate between Walsall & Bilston only
25     Off Peak journeys to terminate at Whitburn Close
34 / 37 / 47 /A Timetable alterations due to 79 frequency increase

[Kevin]

Wow. NX going for near Arriva levels of chopping and changing there.

[Westy]

Out of curiosity, if enough E200's could be gathered together at Walsall, could the 39 be rerouted deeper into Alumwell thus negating the need for the 36?

[The Real 4778]

I hope not. That's all drivers need in the middle of the night, all the Pensnett school kids pestering them about gearbox noises, interworking, running boards and cooling fans.

LMAO

I've looked at some of the timetables starting 4th September on the NWM site, here are some frequency changes:

9 Birmingham to Stourbridge - Saturdays reduced to every 10 minutes
65/67 City to Perry Common/Castles Vale - Mon to Friday peaks reduced to every 10 minutes each
74 B'ham to Dudley - up to every 4/5 mins to West Brom and up to every 9 mins to Dudley

[andy41]

65/67 City to Perry Common/Castles Vale - Mon to Friday peaks reduced to every 10 minutes each

More progress for the NX dumping ground. So all you need is a bit of peak time bunching, which is easy on services using the Lichfield Road and Tyburn Road, and you have no bus for 20 to 25 minutes. A very distinct possibility with current levels of traffic round here.

Or the reality which is you leave exactly the same number of vehicles on the road0, but give them more time for a round trip to make the service more reliable
