Is there any truth yet in this alleged route change for the X20?

Does anyone know if its correct that NX have the 99/A12 contract till June?
That's what the drivers have been telling people?

These were emergency tenders, I have read on someone's blog they are for 12 weeks

Looks like the Perry Beeches lot are getting a raw deal with this new 52 reduced to 30 mins during the day and extra time of the journey.

Passenger loading don't warrant a 20 minute frequency off peak

Makes sense but I hope to death they put it to double deckers, though I can't see loads of the people from the estate staying on past from Perry Barr.

Fair enough but why change something that's been every 20 mins for years and people are use to...

I hope they bring back the 'original' 52 at some point in the near future  because all these new variations and incarnations are getting so annoying, can't they just make their minds up what they want to do with the Beeches bus to Birmingham!

Because there isn't the footfall for a 20 min service, nor for double decks!

Where are people seeing this? There's nothing about it on NX's website that I can see?

[monkeyjoe]

Go on Traveline.com and stick in a date in May as an example will load up the timetable

Double Decks yes, for the section it will be taking on from the 46, because I can't see it coping with all the Beeches lot as well as the Perry Barr to Birmingham to section, but let's be honest I can't see many of the people here using it all the way to Birmingham, the new route of which is longer is hardly appealing is it?
The 46 just about copes with an Omnilink, add the Perry Beeches part if people use it all the way to Birmingham will be a cramped ride.

Also I forgot, you've only driven route not long, yet I've been using the route over a decade, surely common sense plays apart?

What will happen to 99 service then (ex igo) a driver told me that NX are keeping it but changing it, and are 55 getting deckers driver told me they were?

If the latter is true would this mean that the 55 is moving depots then?

Thanks, I've just had a look now. Are there any changes to the X21? Or is that simply just minor timetable adjustments?
