Blackheath Bus Services

[richardjones210368]

You are saying that the X8 is rubbish, doesn't turn up and the buses are "vile", but that is just your opinion.

If the service is as bad as you say it is, which i very much doubt, then find another method of making your journey.

All you seem to have done since joining this forum is to moan and groan and make out you know better than everyone else. I come on here to read about what is going on in the transport world in the West Midlands, not to see someone moaning 24/7.

Have Found Alternative Transport :13A Blackheath - Birmingham it leaves also at 06.48(Excellent Service) Not another moan untill 06:48 Tuesday 7th January 2019 I am now on holiday from moaning & are not using the X8, as I posted I have reached the terminus on the matter for 2019.

Its a wet night got on brand new Enviro, clear destination, smiling driver, lovely warm bright interior red cumfy seats with yellow hand rails, USB port, leg room, bus number sign to give feedback.
But its not a Platinum bus, it's a 278 to Heathrow Airport.
Perhaps it's time to inspire travellers theres a future thats a different colour to anthracite!

Curtailed to Hayes & Harlington, with a new X140 replacing the cut section of the route, I believe

Right cheers thanks thought I had heard of similar changes to the TfL 140 as to ours in the West Midlands County.

The X140 is actually limited stop. Last time I caught an "X" route to Dudley I had a scenic tour of the Black Country!

I should have a detailed look at this thread as it refers to an actual specific Limited Stop service that serves selected stops only between Blackheath Market Place (Quinton Church) & Birmingham Colmore Row it serves all stops to Dudley & Wolverhampton from Blackheath.

If only there was a train station in Blackheath with fast and frequent trains to Birmingham 🤔

Interesting the suggestion is then I walk.past the X8 bus stop in Blackheath to walk the extra half a mile to get a train to Snow Hill  from Rowley Regis Station to then get the X8 from outside Snow Hill Station back  to Edgbaston Francis Rd well its a different concept I will grant you.

[richardjones210368]

It would give you something else to MOAN about

SORRY Not In Service (untill 06.48 7/1/20)

There is no need to delete @karl724223 posts to me I used to deal with  many drivers who thought they had ideas above thier Leyland Lynxes at Midland Red West so know most have a large Almex sorry Chip on thier shoulder - its fine by me.

I deleted Karl's post - It's much better on the forum when PN's finest are quiet! Plus no reference to buses in his comments.
