Dudley Network Review

[2900]

While at Walsall last week I was told every bus stop flag will be changed on Saturday night by an army of TFWM contractors, God did I laugh

[2900]

Seen some of the running boards for sept 12A/13/13A interworked,
13A (127) terminates blackheath
Some 12A/12E journeys start in Oldbury after coming off the 13 drop back very tight indeed  5 minutes, come Friday Saturday night could be an issue , hoping this will be rectified by sept
Fewer duties it seems so less buses could be.

We OLDBURY drivers looking forward to driving double deckers up and down tower rd should be entertaining me finks, I did drive up there on diversion using a Merc 0405N don't recall any issues

Timetables for the 3/3A & X10 commencing September are on the NWM website

Would have thought they'd put the 3 and 3A on the same timetable
Also, those peak X10 journeys look interesting, wonder if anyone's gonna use it the whole way and spend 2 hours commuting from Gornal Wood to Brum

12,13A & 13B for Pensnett

12,13A & 13B for Pensnett

It appears both garages will share the 13A
I assume the 12 will have the hourly frequency during the evening
