The buses for the 37 in Walsall might come of the 34 /39 service

The JLR contracts go to the Gaydon site, 10 miles south of Warwick and well out of NXWM's area. Interesting!

So is it a little odd that NXWM will operate the evening and Sunday journeys on Walsall 37? Does it make a difference that many of them interchange with the 41?

Will the Thandi journeys finally appear in the Nwm timetable leaflet?

It will look as if there is no service on the route during daytimes otherwise

Will Coventry Garage be operating this contract ? If they are then I wonder how they'll manage given the driver shortage there ?

The JLR contract will provide services to/from all 5 West Midlands/Warwickshire based JLR manfacturing sites.

It's  already been mentioned that multiple garages will operate the contract and that existing drivers will be transferred to NXWM under TUPE. (Transfer of Undertakings, Protection of Employment)

When are NX taking over the contract with a start date ?

Wonder how many garages will be involved.  ;)

It's in two stages. First bit starts from AG 1/4/18

How long is it running for Tony ?

I guess BC will also be involved as well as PB / CV perhaps ?

Hope it does well for NX and NX do it well  ;)

It'd be for a few years wouldn't it? Decourcey have had Birmingham International - Jaguar, Castle Bromwich for a few years now?

What will be the difference between the 2 stages?
Different contracts for different sites?
Local Routes

Be nice to see what buses they'll use on it too. Any Ideas ?  ;)

Which garages will be operating which sites Tony ?

I've heard WN Drivers are being offered the chance to volunteer and work on this contract from BC  ;)

How was the first day on the contract for national express?
