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.

Could the person that's dealing with the south Birmingham be of sick &that's why the changes haven't been put up yet

You'd expect someone else to be step in............

Generous of them!

You make it sound like some diversion or a bus stop closure, not that it could potentially affect people's livelihoods or anything...

What's the problem with telling people via posters on shelters?

Nothing, I never said there was.

But I tell you what there is a problem with, the fact that it's 26 days away and the people of South Birmingham still do not have the faintest idea what's going on!

Deforestation- think of all the paper used?? And with easy access to internet for all why not just put it on there?

Not everyone will own a computer and not everyone will be looking at the NX website/NX Facebook page @Trident 4194.
People who use the routes will notice the notices at there stops while they are waiting for there bus.

I have no issues with the means by which the changes are communicated - it needs to be via website, notices on buses and shelters and / or leaflet drops through letterboxes. But NXWM haven't helped themselves with the timing of this - for such wholesale and disruptive change they should have let people know sooner.

Yesterday during pm peak I was on a 22 from town which was immediately behind a 23. Between the ICC and Harborne High St a lot of people let the 23 in front go, as it was the 22 they needed. In less than 4 weeks time those people will no longer be able to catch a direct bus home. They really should be given more than 3 weeks notice of that.

Oh they'll be okay, there'll be a bus every 5 mins to Harborne after all...

The changes are now on the NX website.
https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/miscellaneous/new-usb-points

The 6A and 50A are being withdrawn as well.

The X22 says it will use the current X64 route from the QE/University to Birmingham.
What route would the other 2 use?
The X21 says:
"then continue along the same route as the current X64 to Edgbaston. It will then run a limited stop service into Birmingham"
The X20 says:
"A new limited stop service, the X20, will run from Cofton Hackett and Rednal along Bristol Road to QE Hospital / University and Birmingham city centre."

Also it mentions the X20 and X22 will be platinum. But it doesn't mention anything about the X21 being platinum, will that keep the B7RLE or will they go elsewhere?

So there will now be two totally different routes numbered X20 serving Birmingham City Centre. Which imbecile came up with that idea? Roll on franchising....

PN could have some to change the 246 into a more frequent single decker route? WA/WN/CV to withdraw more tridents or... allocate them to another BC route. Changes happening to the 48 but the 48A is not mentioned?

What a random location for the changes lol
