I wouldn't get too excited, just revised timetables thats all. It's been suggested in another thread here that PB might be introducing an additional peak-time journey onto the 55 timetable.

Black Country changes for 21 April now on NXWM website at https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/information/service-changes/service-changes-from-sunday-21st-aprl-2019

One big change is the reduction of service 14 from every 30 minutes to every hour.

How the '241' has Demised. Once the fastest route to Dudley operating every 30 minutes, now a long winded hourly route.

Or serving more places due to tender wins?! Dudley to Halesowen you do have the 19 aswell but the new 14 and 19 have a run time to Halesowen being 35 mins...

The 241 14 replaced the 127 partly which wasn't tendered was it? The 14 and 19 are both equally long winded routes. If I go to Dudley nowadays I will get a 4H to blackheath then an x8

Interesting that the NWM service changes page shows "revised timetable and limited stops" for the X20/X21.
Is that a mistake or will NX be making the X20/X21 limited stop @Tony?
Also from the NWM service changes page it seems the X20 is being cut back to Longbridge?

Not sure how much to read into a site that can't proof read things properly. Unless of course the ☓21 is now going to "Woodstock Hill"...

will the 14A go the same way as the current 208 to Merry Hill? asking on behalf of my parents.

It'll take over part of the current 24 and 208 routes

Hearing from a WN Driver that the WN X7 is due to be de-registered and withdrawn during July ?

If it's true, I wouldn't be surprised, as it doesn't seem to be that well used overall. I'd presume the X8 would see a frequency increase, at least between Dudley and Wolverhampton, or the 126 extended back to Wolverhampton to retain the frequency along there.

[TT90]

I think the X8 could do with a frequency increase especially between Dudley and Birmingham, the 20 mins gap is a bit much I think. Maybe this will sort that once the X7 is withdrawn ?
I believe it to be June not July.

They could make the 126 platinum then couldn't they

They could return the 126 back to normal w-ton to brum . and retain x8 between dudley & brum?
