34 to terminate at Bilston.
37 daytime mon-sat journeys are withdrawn.
39 extended to cover stowlawn.

Also some changes for the suttons, all Sutton line services will have a flexible route in place between Aston Uni and Graveley Hil.

Would be nice for TfWm to include Thandi's daytime journeys in replacement for Nx's in the printed timetable.

So thandi has won on 37.  Why didn't  nx bus change the times

Ive noticed them running close together.

Things must be bad if Thandi can beat Nx.

Dunno about the southern section but the northern section should be quicker between Bentley & Willenhall compared to the 41, while the middle section (Bentley Road North & Queen Liz Avenue) is a short walk to the 529 route, as I can testify.

Whats to say Thandi are 'beating' NX. Maybe NX have decided that they do not wish to operate the 37 as perhaps it's not as profitable as first expected? And to be honest when you have cowboys like Thandi running aroud 2 minutes in front its not a surprise they pull passengers on.

Thandi hasn't won the 37. The 37 is only tendered in the evenings and Sunday daytime.

Regarding changing the times, why would NX bother doing so when Thandi will just follow  suit which ks exactly what they've done on the 334 for years and more recently the 311 and short lived 313. I expect the same will happen when they come on the 39.

Perhaps TfWm should do more co-ordinated timetables like they do on the 4?

Do operators pay TfWM to provide the publicity? Can't remember if they do or not but would suggest that maybe Thandi etc don't want to pay TfWM so they don't publicise them.

Thandi obviously do not want passengers then, if they can afford to finish around 5pm & not publicise their services!
