What image was shared?

It was a link to a Facebook picture posted by 2206; someone took a screenshot of the changes that were somehow accidentally posted to the NXBus website - they were quickly taken down:

These changes leave Quinton Lane without a direct service to Birmingham don't they? Or have I read that wrong?

Quinton Road will still have a link to Birmingham with the X22 I believe

Quinton Road will have the X22. Harborne Park Road, Alwold Road, Barnes Hill and Shenley Lane will be without one.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

You can just predict now the Mail going in all guns blazing when they finally do publish the changes... "National Express set to rip apart local Bus Network with just 3 weeks notice."

The Dudley consultation changes will be released before these ones at this rate ;)

It is appalling and I will be personally speaking to Bus Users UK for their comment.

Is it any wonder that passenger numbers have dropped from 319 million (2009/10) to 267 million (2015/16) with further anticipated drops for 16/17 and 17/18?

Wonder how many of the timetable leaflets will be available at the start?

We will be thankful if they are on the website at the start at this rate!

We should have a sweepstake on how many out-of-date timetables remain on display at certain 'don't tell us how to do our job' travel shops a month after such a big set of changes. I no longer bother trying to explain, I just remove them and  chuck them in the recycling when I get home.

I agree with your comments. TFWM are equally to blame in my opinion for this debacle

NX said a while ago they were going on the facebook page they are going to release the details of the changes at the start of July.

National Express West Midlands have replied on their Facebook visitors section to someones enquiry that the South Birmingham changes will not be published until early July ........ yet the 10A new Lichfield extension is published now for the same start date, why ?
Presumably that is next week @Solo1.
