West Dudley Consultation

[winston]

Anyone heard any updates on the proposed West Dudley service changes?

If they're proceeding on the 27th October as suggested, NX are leaving it a tad late to register them with the TC & inform passengers.

I was told that they've been postponed until 2020.

Ta!

Hopefully they're re-thinking some of the proposed service changes and will inform passengers very soon...

Yeah, I don't think combing the 2 and 82 would work personally. The 82 isn't the most reliable in my experience, although I don't use the 2 enough to comment on that side.

According to Staffordshire Council NX have moved the changes to Jan 2020

Maybe NX could also inform their passengers.

The 2 is equally unreliable & travel's through various traffic bottlenecks & narrow estate roads with parking issues.

These changes are due at the end of January. That  said the routes I know that are going ahead are the 8 to Wolverhampton to replace the short X8 journeys, and the 15 will probably replace the 17 between Kingswinford and Gornal and the 8 from Wrens Nest to Dudley. The route that the 15 will most probably follow from Gornal to the 8 route will be the 27.

Is the 4 still being extended to Wombourne replacing the 15 in Wombourne ?

I am not sure about that, but if the 15 is definitely going to do the 17 and 8 services to Dudley then the 4 will probably be extended.

Another month on, have we any idea when or if these changes are going ahead and when.

The 2/2A now seems to be double decker operated, I presume this is in readiness for the merger with the 82.

I'd hazard a guess that's more to do with the 8** E200's now being preoccupied on the 5, 17A, 28 & 10A/C?

and emittion trapping

Is the rest of the consultation going ahead i.e the 15/17 merging at Kingswinford and potentially going to PN as the 8 is suppose to go from Wolverhampton to Wollaston Farm
