Service changes from 4th December, 2016

[Steve3229vp]

From 4th December, the 63 is increased to every 7 minutes Monday to Saturday and every 10 mins to Longbridge and every 20 mins to Frankley on Sunday. I wonder how frequent the new X61 will be ?

Will the 63 be branded?

[GeminiFan1991]

Do we know which stops the X61 will serve ?!

[monkeyjoe]

I thought the 63 is every 7/8 minutes currently anyway??? On the website says currently 61& 63 combine to give a 3/4 min service to Northfield do confused by the increased to every 7 mins part at the start of this thread.

How am curious how they are going to make this corridor work now

That will probably hold until the East Brum review in Jan, someone mentioned an x72 maybe combined 72 to city and 966 to Solihull ????

Will there be enough Enviros for the 63? Aassuming that's the route the cascaded Enviros are for

I don't always get time to scroll through previous threads, I would have preferred a comment on the subject itself !!

I've just seen the new X2 timetable (NWM website), still every 15 minutes Mionday to Saturday so no change but also the Sunday daytime is REDUCED to every 30 minutes, so if anybody was expecting a frequency increase on the Coventry Road then you're going to be disappointed.

The 900/957 Sunday frequency hasn't co-ordinated since the 957 was introduced. You had the 900 every 30 minutes and the 957 every 20. I would've thought there would have been short journeys on Sundays to ensure of a higher frequency

The X1 (900) timetable hasn't been published yet. That'll be where you see the frequency increase.

[Adam 404]

The X3, X4, X5 & X14 will run every 20 mins each creating a combined frequency of Every 5 Mins. Timetables are on Traveline Midlands.

I'm not doubting you but I'm waiting to be convinced on that one !

Only had a quick look but it looked like the X3/4/5 had a matched frequency of every 6 to 7 minutes with the X14 on a separate timetable altogether. If they are combined it would be strange as the X14 doesn't share much of the common route of the other three.
