Timetable Changes 26/02/17

Can I be honest here @Winston , I find it very irritating that people obviously know information and yet are either not passing it on or are just teasing people with it. This leads to pages and pages of speculation. Surely something should only be published if it is allowed into the public domain (I know firms publish details of what they are going to do but don't want it broadcast to soon), if not keep quiet until it is!

@Stuharris 6360 - Exactly! The service / route changes have been registered with VOSA and those that are teasing with tit bits, are also those that are frequently involved in PN wind-up's, hence why I take what is said with a pinch of salt until confirmed.

All you have to do is ask a driver on the 120, 140, 205, 241, 243, 244 or 276. They'll all tell you the same thing

For anyone interested the new 244 timetable is up on network West Midlands website now.

Looks like Monday to Sunday evenings will interwork with the 4H.

The 4H on a Sunday daytime looks like it's interworking with the 241.

Of note is that NXWM used to provide a 30 min frequency between Hayley Green and Halesowen on the 244 on Sunday's which will now be reduced to hourly.

So are pensnett going to operate the 4h full route to wallsal ??

[Stuharris 6360]

No, presumably just the early morning, evening & Sunday journeys between Halesowen & Hayley Green.

[Stuharris 6360]

The 243 timetable has now appeared, and whilst the service has been reduced to half hourly, the service is still tunning between Dudley and Merry Hill.

[monkeyjoe]

So only the claribels services are moving stops on the priory now ???

[Steveminor]

No all priory services are moving. TfWM will be making announcements soon.

Any reasons why, not seen that part of the city for a while?

It is to try and stop lots of people running across the road between parked parked buses over to the 94 stop

The 65 & 67 service is to have a revised route in Birmingham City Centre.
In addition to this, the frequency is reduced to every 12 mins each with frequency of every 20 mins each on Sunday.

Looking at the timetable for the 67, it looks like a daytime off-peak frequency reduction, it will still be more frequent during the peaks.

This doesn't surprise me, when I used to catch the 67 to get to and from work during the morning and evening peaks, the bendibuses were often crowded and full. Yet on the few occasions I used the 67 during the daytime (off-peak) there would be few passengers on board.

Its just a case of routes and timetables being adjusted to cater for passengers needs - if there are fewer passengers using the service during the off-peak, why have the same frequency as during the peak?

Yippee I agree with that for a change my old corridor getting some attention. Used to hate running all that way.

[monkeyjoe]

Earlier and later journeys too for the 94 progress
