Service changes 28th April 2019

It'll be interesting to see if the x3 is well used to lichfield. Doubt many will use it all the way to Birmingham as it'll take too long but even if a few switch to it from the train between lichfield and Sutton, who know, we'll have to wait and see.

My partner drives from Lichfield to Walsall then gets the X51 to Birmingham. When he looked at the X3 timetable he said straight away it's quicker to continue going via Walsall than direct from Lichfield. I'm going to try it though.

I wonder what passengers that normally get on the 46 at Perry Barr One Stop going towards Lozells will think about having to get the new 52 route over the other side of the road ?

Same as years ago back in May 2005.
Perry Beeches Evening Sunday service was covered by 46X Perry Beeches- City--Northfield

Will Walsall need any extra platinums for X51 extension

I've already given them the extras

I'm assuming you've had to sort the next stop announcements for the new route, have you had to change the others to match? Don't know how it works.

No, not my job

I know you said the X51 will have the extras, but does that mean where the 'spare' Platties were used on standard routes like the 7 & 10, on Saturdays, they will revert to 'standard ' vehicles?

Presumbly there would be no change to Sunday allocations in Walsall?

Saturday timetable require less vehicles than Monday to Friday, so before 6712-6718 moved to WA the spare were used anywhere else they could so I doubt it will change with the extension to Cannock on a Saturday as the run time between brum and Cannock will be slightly faster than mon to fri service

[MasterPlan]

Could be a revised timetable to improve reliability maybe?

If this is the case then it can't come quick enough. Only the 15 mins late into City this morning.

I noticed the 94s are being reduced in the daytime, suspect the same will happen with the 55.

It's only taken 1/4 of a century plus years to introduce a 97 that's serves CTC, people were asking for that when I went to school in that area in.

I've had a quuck look at the timetable on Traveline? Still seems to be roughly every 8 minutes?
13:04, 13:12, 13:21, 13:29, 13:37.
Doesn't look too different to how it is now.

I'd think the 55/94 would still operate every 4 minutes between Fox & Goose and City Centre?

[monkeyjoe]

I'm being pedantic moved from every 7/8 to 8/9, i notice everything.

[Jack D]

Has the decker on 55 been confirmed yet?

 Happy that the x3 will take the more direct route into lichfiled via Birmingham Road instead of the current X12 route.
