On the Birmingham City Centre map, the road that turns right from Digbeth onto Moat Lane is still closed and barricaded off.

Hi @ellspurs  thanks for this. I'll pass this onto them. I also don't think there's any services that do this section of Bradford St and Moat Lane/Digbeth. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

On the Birmingham area map, you have graphical glitches in the Terminating box for Solihull. The ♦ is displaying as a t. This error was on the previous Solihull map as well, but it appears fixed for the latest one.

EDIT: there may be more of these glitches. Another one I just noticed is on the 937A on Portland Road, Aldridge.

Hi @ellspurs thanks for this. I'll pass this on also.

And a slight error on the map. It shows the 50 (Wednesfield-Wolverhampton) as going to the top of Hyde Rd then going onto Moathouse Lane and following the road around, when it actually turns off slightly before and serves Wright Avenue. It also shows the short section of Lichfield Rd between Peacock Avenue and New Invention in dark blue, when it's less frequent than every 10 along that bit.

I have just looked over the timetables for the routes that run along Lichfield Rd between Peacock Ave and New Invention. The timetables states that between Peacock Ave and Coppice Farm Way the frequency is roughly 10 mins then between Coppice Farm Way and Essington Rd the frequency is 20 mins. Then between Essington Rd and New invention it's again roughly every 10 mins. So I think between the following road it should be as follows. What do you think/everyone else on here think?

Between Peacock Ave and Coppice Farm Way stays dark blue.
Between Coppice Farm Way & Essington Rd changed to light blue.
Lastly
Between Essington Rd and New Invention stays dark blue.

Hi Kevin

I had already picked up on this mistake, which should be rectified when the next new edition is produced.

One small error on the Sandwell and Dudley map.  It shows the 15 and 16 as both going around Wombourne Green.  The 15 doesn't go around the Green as it turns right into Planks Lane just before.

There's nothing attached...

I know I've contacted Tech support to help.

Any ideas when the new Walsall map will be added to the NWM website.

The one on the NWM still shows the Arriva 2 operating the old route towards Bloxwich
