MasterPlan

Walking down Black Haynes Road the other day I couldn't help notice 10S on the bus stops. Looks like it will be extended to Northfield like proposed and join the 39A up there.
Also noticed that the stops that were taken out on the Bristol Road between Oak Tree Lane and Weoley Park Road have been reinstated for the 10S which explains why they were cleaned a week or so back.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Well there was no new timetables in Walsall on Wednesday.

Will have to check on Saturday!

X51 are hiding on the counter!

Managed to nab 2, with big sister bringing one from West Brom.


No other new services in Walsall available yet.

Interesting to notice that the 2 stops for Sneyd Lane/Cresswell Crescent in Bloxwich have been updated to show 31 60 326 but its an old style blue & white NWM flag not a new style WMB one!

They might not be using the new WMB ones anymore?
I can think of numerous other examples.
When they changed the flags along the Washwood Heath Road routes a few weeks ago to include Claribels 94A school service and remove Claribels 55 from the stops the NX 55 doesn't serve they kept the old flags.
When the Solihull tendered serevices were renumbered a few weeks ago they kept the old flags.

Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Yeah, but the next one along (Mossley Lane) still had a Wmb flag, plus all the flags on both Bloxwich Road & Somerfield Road are now Wmb ones, to account for the X51 rerouting.

Anyone know whether they will be putting timetables on stops between Bloxwich and Cannock for the X51??

Is the 55 getting the odd double decker in the morning from 28th april?

The 55 is operated by BY and they only have scanias 1788-1836 1876/1877 and no deckers are allocated there so unless BC do the odd journey i doubt there will be deckers allocated

There were suggestions that PB might be doing 1 or 2 decker 55 workings.

cris 99

that would be good to see the scanias struggle to cope at peak times on the 55

What leaflets have been seen then?

Spotted at Walsall in no particular order :

529,  X51, 8/8a/9, 60, so no 10/10a to my knowledge.

Plus X3 etc too!

Also spotted at West Brom(thanks to big sister!) : Wa 51(separated from.X51 leaflet, as that hasnt actually changed!) & x51 itself.

The new X51 and X3 leaflets are both at West Bromwich, as of last week.
