Timetable Changes 26/02/17

[Gareth]

I love the earlier and later journeys. Just a shame the Sunday morning first bus isn't also at 4.12am. Would save money on taxis from work on Saturday night!
As I only travel to Saltley, the last 94 bus changing times is a bonus, but I do feel a 55minute wait between the 23.15 and the 00.10 is a bit long for some areas such as Castle Brom maybe.
But it's a step forward, so well done from me!

On that note why not space out the last 56 journeys by 10 mins to lessen the impact?

[Kevin]

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

Also worth mentioning it will stop the Saltley buses clogging up the other bus stops

Yes! They're always blocking the 98/99/X64 stop!

[Gareth]

Stop BS14 has slightly jumped the gun. Today showing 72, 98, 99 and X64 as stopping there.

WA's E200 859 was route learning the 4H earlier this afternoon, the odd thing was it came down Huntington Road & turned left in to Dunstall Road ie the same route as Diamond's 4H

Following same as diamond 4H to fox hunt

Following same as diamond 4H to fox hunt

Has that changed recently then?

That will mean the likes of Elizabeth Rd / High Farm Rd & Bassnage Rd will be left without a service, whilst there will 3 extra bus per hour on the 4H route which isn't needed!

Don't be silly... They just used a short bus for route learning.

Winston it is only going up bassnage road and high farm road.

Winston it is only going up bassnage road and high farm road.

I've just checked on Traveline & zoomed in on the map, it will doing a loop of Hasbury via Diamond's 4H route then returning to Halesowen via the 244 route up Bassnage Road. That's better than nothing, but people living in High Farm Road or Bassnage Rd will have to go all the way around before they can get off coming back from Halesowen or have to get off in Huntingtree  Road & walk (assuming they're able)

[Dom]

What a ridiculous comment. There are 6 E200s at Walsall and 20+ running boards on the 4.

Route info attached, expect the Pensnett ones to get lost tomorrow.
