It will be the 12/12A I don't know if the route will be split between PN and WB after the changes

The 12A was said in the consultation leaflet to be operated by double deckers. Whether these are the Tridents at PE, or ALX400/Enviros at WB is yet to be seen

Confirmed date for the changes is 2nd September. Information to be out in August.

Actually saw notices on buses about this yesterday. This is probably the best way to do it, get the word out there that there are changes coming and that info will be out soon. Much better than nothing, nothing, nothing, BAM here's what the buses will be like in 3 weeks

Rumour mill, 12A interworked with the 13 and 13A
129 to carry on as the 13b to blackheath
126 renumbered the 26 not the 15

Just rumours I stress not gospel

13,A,B will also get its own livery in due course 😀

This traffic notice.

Is anything actually happening with WA 11/13, as this traffic notice suggests it is?

There also seems to be a new 43A route, alongside the 42 and 43. If I had to guess, they will alternate between running past SWB Academy and running past Loxdale into Bilston.

So the 'original' 13 is going to be the 11a then?

And finally the 301 & 302 are being renumbered 31 & 32, but why does the registration say Walsall to Mossley for both routes?

There also appears to be some sort of change to the 55/94 and 72/A on that side of the West Midlands. Are these timetable changes or something else?

There may be a number of such registrations dated 2 September - usually just the end of 'summer holiday' timetables and other relevant minor adjustments for the new school year.

If the 255 is to be renumbered 15, that would suggest that the rumour that the 126 might be remunerated 26 (as posted by 2900 this week) could be true? I'm assuming that there wouldn't be two number 15s in the Dudley area?

Good catch, this is probably the wrong thread then. Oops. :o

The East Birmingham changes on the 14,55,72 and 94 might just be the end of summer holiday schedules.

Are the timetables that start tomorrow with regards to the South Birmingham changes summer ones also? Does that mean they'll change later on?

Some will indeed - the following note appears on one of the relevant South Birmingham Review pages on the NXWM website: "Please be aware that timetables will change to allow for increased traffic when schools return from 2nd September. "
