TfWM corporate branding

[winston]

Bridgnorth, Telford, Stoke on Trent and Bewdley come under the west midlands region even thou they are in Worcestershire, Staffordshire ect so prehaps First Worcester/Potteries will also get the livery.

They may come under the West Midlands Traffic area for licenses, but that's about it!

The local councils of those areas control bus services, not TfWM.

They are west midlands on the map yes, but not part of the West Midlands Combined Authority or Transport for West Mids.

New 31 and 32 timetable, as I expected its 32 every 10 minutes with two 31's in between so a combined frequency of every 3-4 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime and every 5 minutes Sunday daytime.

Anyone noted the earlier Sunday journeys?

(Also Diamond are coming all the way from Smethwick to operate those, while Nx are just down the road & dont start till around 930am! How come?)

TfWM tendered contract?

TfWM tendered contract?

Maybe, but it still puzzles me that there's a NX depot on the route & the cheapest price for the tender(if so?) comes from a company a few miles away!

Depends what else the bus does during the day.

There's  No extra cost in Diamond running it, The bus would have to run from Tividale at some point in the day.

Note the 'copy & paste' from the 42/43/43a information page!

By the way, what should be the equivalent info for the page linked to, that lists the NX tickets that can be bought on Diamond, as clicking the link brings up the 42 etc info, despite linking from the 31/32 page?
