June Changes

[the trainbasher]

Just noticed via bustimes.org that some routes, including the PN7 are having some changes made to times.

Summer timetables perhaps?

2nd June.

Is there a list of the June changes

Anyone know what will be replacing the X7 between WN and Dudley to keep the 10 mins frequency ?

I'm assuming the new X8 timetable, with any amendments will be on traveline / NX website soon ?

Does this mean that alternate 126s will continue through to Wolverhampton?

Nothing has been publically announced to say whats changing to the 126 yet.
From what I can see it could just be a timetable change. If it remains at its present frequency likely so.
126 is every 15 minutes, X8 is every 20. So there's no way they can be coordinated at the present frequency. Registration on the VOSA site does still show Birmingham to Dudley.

Makes you wonder if they are going to reintroduce the 126 between Dudley & Wolverhampton again, have to say all this chopping and changing with routes doesn't portray a very good image!

The most likely option is to have every other X8 run short to Dudley, it could also free up Platinums for elsewhere.

Is the X7 the route when introduced, was serving a new section of route not previously served or something?

I take it that route didnt work out then?

WN X7 is basically an express version of the WB 87.

What I can't understand is why the ☓7 stops running so early in the day. Surely if you're going to try a route like this you go all out rather than half-cut sort of thing? Seems to me like it was doomed to fail from the start.

Might have been a bit busier if it was able to serve Summerfield Park as well - busy stop for both 82/87 and 11 from what I've seen when I've been there in the past rather than going right onto Heath Street.
Though I suppose that might mean it would be taken through the traffic it was intended to avoid in the first place.
