Christmas and New Year bus times 2018

Looks like it in Walsall too.

Wonder how many £50 were paid out then, because not doing it this year has saved a bit of dosh.

(And handed patronage over to the taxis as a consequence, or people will be staying in or supporting their local!)

Well I,m all for supporting your local over Christmas , I am fortunate to have quite a few in easy walking distance so I,ll be making good use of them.
Christmas Eve in brum you only really have the German market , you get good offers on confectionary practically throwing the stuff at you.

According to bustimes.org and traveline the last 94 will be 23.45 from City Centre to Chelmsley Wood on Christmas Eve. There will be extra buses during the day at selected times. This might be wrong though.

That's not the timetable I see on Traveline WM, which shows the last one will be the 22:15 from the City Centre, it also shows the last 55 will be at 22:30.
Though the 11A and 11C timetables show these routes will operate as normal, including the 23:45 11A (11E) to the Fox And Goose, timetabled to terminate at 23:59, and another 11A timetable to terminate in Acocks Green at 00:15. Though they could be wrong, as these timetables on Traveline WM also show the 96 and 1/A will operate on Boxing Day though NX have stated on there website the won't.

The last 94 is indeed at 22.15 not as bustimes.org says 23.45. Wrong information about depending on what website you look at. NX are going to be putting all routes on it's website in due course.

Christmas week timetables are appearing on the network west midlands website.

[2206]

I notice some of the timetables on the NX website, contradict what is written on the website and what NX are telling people on the Facebook page.
The PB 94, BY 55 and BC 23/24/X1/60 show that the last bus will be at 18:00 on Boxing Day on the Webpage, but when you click on the timetable it shows the last buses will be at the end of normal service.

Qutoted from their facebook page "National Express West Midlands: Sorry both the 23 and X20 last bus at 6 pm"
Edit - AG 4 and YW 6 as well - it seems they're showing and telling people incorrect information for a number of services.

The vast majority are incorrect. Strange, it's not like NX to get their website wrong.

Normal rules apply.

What time is the last ☓21 from City tomorrow? It says last buses around 6 but the timetable says 19:15 is the last one.

What time is the last ☓21 from City tomorrow? It says last buses around 6 but the timetable says 19:15 is the last one.

As has been said above they've wrongly basically put up on just about every route on the website the last bus is around 6, even a few routes like the X1/60, 11A/C, 55/94 and 23/24 where the timetable show they are finishing at around midnight.
So i'd imagine it would be 19:15. 19:15 is the time shown on Traveline WM as well.

e.g for the 11A/11C -
"Wed 26th Dec - Sunday service with last buses around 18:00."
Then you click on the timetable and it shows the last 11A from Acocks Green, is as usual the 23:45 11E to Ward End.

From what I saw and heard New Year's Day service was pretty shambolic apart from main rd services majority of the secondary bus services were in garage by 8pm.
West brom bus station full of punters but no services.
What was comical traffic office  calling out to the 5,es 40,s no reply just static ,no communication again, I had people come to me in Oldbury where's 12/13 gone, so people got on the 87 to capehill then the 82 to bearwood.

If you read the bus Info on the bus & looked on the website

He's a driver.

And infact there is some misleading and incorrect information on their website and the facebook page.

They wrongly put up on there website, for most services, such as the 94, 55, 60, X1, 24, etc, that they were finishing at 6PM, when the timetables showed they were finishing and carrying on till midnight.
Whoever answers the querries on the facebook page, didn't seem to know what time the buses were finishing either, they  wrongly answered someones querrie on there telling them the 24 was finishing at 6PM, the link to the timetable showed it was finishing at around midnight.
