Service Change 23/04/2017

[Matt.N0056]

Thanks for the info. Will be interesting to see the Streetlites in Ward End then.

Not sure if streetlites will be the normal allocation. I'm assuming it will be solos transferd in

Will be operated from Redditch. The 34/38/69 and some trips on 50 will also be operated from Redditch from tomorrow.

Any idea if any Volvo's will be moving from Tividale in to Redditch to cover the 50 trips?

They will probably be run by the solo's that come off the 69/38 as at Tividale I believe.

Cheers @4747 - so more just AM/PM peak workings on the 50 then.

[Solo1]

You mean 34 & 69 service which go on to 50 service

[winston]

Solo's 20522, 20839, 20868, 20869 & 20913 are now at Redditch ex Tividale

Hopefully that transfer of services will mean the 16 gets full sized singles in the morning peaks

Don't the smaller buses on the 16 go on to work the 108?

The 108 is usually a B7RLE.

Erdington  for 25 service & maybe 600.service

Think it's usually the other way round, 108 uses large buses now and I think they go on to the 16 during the day to replace minis from the peaks that go onto any one of these minibus routes, definitely one used to do the 647 but obviously that's gone from Diamond now

A diamond driver last night said that diamond are having some of Arriva Midlands buses

[HTA844N]

Seems strange to think Diamond will be back on the 310 (albeit only Wednesbury - Willenhall). It'd be great to have the OLD 310 back... Walsall - Merry Hill. What's the chances?

[sonic84]

I'm also wondering with the 99 being withdrawn and the extended 244 not running evenings or Sunday's between Halesowen and the QE, whether there is any scope for the 142 to be extended to the QE evenings and Sunday's now?

You spoke to a diamond driver? How dare you! 😉
