It is a tendered service they have won off Arriva Midlands

So whats happening to the rest of the 35 then?

I guess I was right in asking in the one Arriva thread whether Tamworth would hang onto certain journeys in the long run!

[PB2938]

NXWM are operating the 35 on Sundays only interworking with the 77 they have also won on Sundays.

WA70 daily Evenings will also return to NXWM end of October.

Wonder if Councillor Worrall is still paying for the service out of his allowance?

Does the 35 get any closer to Aston Manor than the 7 / 7a?

The Sunday 35 will serve between Walsall and Aldridge. Unfortunately, it's a no to your question. If it was going to Lichfield, it would carry on from Aldridge, turn left to Walsall Wood Road and carry on straight to Walton Road. If it was coming back from Lichfield, it would turn right to Leighswood Avenue from Walsall Wood Road.

You'd be better off catching the 7 from Walsall and get off by Leighswood Avenue as usual.

No, these changes are not happening on October 15th, they're happening on October 22nd.

The 35 (Sundays) and 77 (Sundays) are tendered services won of Arriva Midlands.
The 96, it is just early morning, evening and Sunday journeys being withdrawn.
47/A, are being combined into one route.

From the same date:

There is a Sunday service introduced on WN's 69 service and the Sunday service on the 255 is withdrawn.

[Westy]

Is that the full 69 route ?

[bususer12]

Wow, I really don't understand the daytime withdrawal of the 255, there is an opportunity for Diamond or IGO here. 1 hour route between 2 shopping destinations, reliability i feel has had an effect on the passenger numbers. Will be even more of a joke if the evening 255 remains which carries fresh air.

To perspective operators;

No Link from Penn, Wombourne, Wall Heath, parts of Kingswinford to Merry Hill on Sun 24th December, 26th December, or 27th December as 27th will be A BHol in lieu of 25th. Opportunity?

[BK63 YWP]

Well that's great looks like I'm getting the 226 day time Sundays to merry hill to be honest the day time 255 picks up a fair few passengers.

Saying that diamond could pick this up @Simon Dunn please :)

[leewhayward29]

Is that the full 69 route ?

Walsall to Wolverhampton via Beechdale, New Invention and Wednesfield

[BK63 YWP]

Is the 255 commercially operated Sunday daytime?
