How come some of the stops have been renamed onboard the bus on the X51, since the last change?

At least one (Wiltshire Close) while correct,  the physical bus stop is still Hospital Street on the  flag!

Even the bus depot stop is now 'Bloxwich Industrial Estate '!

Any plans to introduce any new services into Cannock? With it not looking likely D and G are going to reinstate the 2 maybe an hourly route linking Cannock with Bridg5own Cheslyn Hay and Walsall?

Why did Nx not reduce the journey times for the likes of the 4,4H and 4M. Anybody with a brain travelling on this route would use diamond considering they are running a 10 minute frequency service with incredibly fast running time?

The Diamond 4H running time clearly isn't sufficient, as the past couple of weeks you often see them running around in 2's even in the middle of the day, on odd occasions 3's.

I've had a look at the timetables and the Diamond 4H's have at least 10 minutes shorter journey time than the NX 4H's.

Do you seriously think any normal passenger *ever* lets a bus go, unless they happen to have an operator specific ticket?

I too have seen the 4H running in 2s and 3s around Oldbury during the day.

Have the Streetdecks entered 'normal service' yet, or are they still driver training?

I know at least one has done the odd school service so far.

Are there any plans for other services into Cannock? Poss restore a Bridgtown/Cheslyn Hay to Walsall link as Chaserider dont appear to have any plans to do so.

Have they looked at the survey results yet though, even though they know we need another Cannock to Walsall link for that reason?

Would a 937 extension to Cannock work? Maybe combine it with the 3 under an agreement with D&G! The 3 between Brownhills and Cannock seems rather pointless. Obviously just an idea of course. Regarding a Cheslyn Hay to Walsall link, maybe an extension to one of the Blocwich-Walsall services 🤔
