Dudley Network Review

[BK63 YWP]

WB are operating the 3/3A and will probably operate the 13/13A and are loosing the 12A to Pensnett is what I can make from notices at WB garage.

Will be interesting to see what allocations the 3/A will get, would love an alx 400 b7tl to visit merry hell. Would this be the first time WB has operated a service in merry hill?

No. The 238 was West Brom operated before Pensnett

Not in West Bromwich travel shop this afternoon it's not, and I'm darned if I can see it anywhere online.
Any further clues, please, 2900?

The ones I got were from box placed at Dudley bus station drivers canteen , i think these ones are for drivers, I,ve been giving them to the pensioners who didn't have clue that mass changes were afoot next month.  Not all the older generation do computers, Internet etc , the guide booklets were most appreciated.

Yeap use to get a varying mix of buses on the 238 , metrobuses, Volvos,  Mercs , westbrom for a very short period had B10B,s on there from wolves, I heard drivers didn't like them so they moved to the The Farm so I,m told.

The consultation will be published some time day according to nx twitter

Interesting reading the changes in more detail now
Online timetables show the 13 and 13A, every 20 each, but the published book suggests a 13B as well, and suggests that all of them combined are every 10 mins with the 13A/B combined to every 20. I can only conclude from that they're reducing the old 127/129 sections to a retarded 40 mins each which is literally the opposite of the "simplification" the changes were meant to achieve

Picked one up in Stourbridge yesterday, but only because I knew one would be there, they weren't exactly prominent on display

The page https://nxbus.co.uk/dudley has been created and is viewable directly.  It has not been linked to the rest of the NXWM website.  The timetable for services 13A/13B shows 2 buses per hour on 13A and 1 per hour on 13B between about 09:00 and 16:00 Mondays to Saturdays.

Brandhall and Perry Hill get an every 40 minute service to Birmingham... You couldn't make this up if you tried.

Is there any reason why the 13(128) needs to be every 20 minutes? The majority of the route is covered by other services

It's being handed out by staff members across the network as well.

Cant believe no one wanted changes to the Walsall to Dudley corridor?

That reliability needs looking at!

Well you have got changes of sorts. Because the number 13 was required by three other routes, you've now got a far simpler 11A instead.

Sorry, couldn't resist  ;)
