New cross-city bus services

[Kevin]

I actually live in hope that this does happen, but the bus priority measures in the city centre are properly enforced otherwise there'll be no chance.

The 66 and 66A were also Bearwood to Erdington/ Sutton coldfield as well.

Interesting didn't realize there were so many.

Merging of the 15 and X10 or via the old 261 route?

Merging of the 15 and X10

So are they merging the 15 and X10

So it will run Wolverhampton - Bradmore - Spring Hill - Wombourne - Himley - Kingswinford - Bromley - Merry Hill - Cradley Heath - Halesowen - Bearwood - Birmingham

[Bus Man K2]

I think if my mind serves me right they are looking at merging the 82/87 with the 50 or the 16 and 50.

So nothing like what @karl724223

[BusMan Greg]

Why was the 79 Shortened all them years ago? Honestly I would rather get the 79 and the 74 to Birmingham from Wolverhampton rather than the X8.

The route was too long it was about 2 hours plus it was so unreliable due to traffic. Plus the West Midlands Metro runs a similar route to the 79 which is actually faster than the 79 by a country mile.

I wonder if the new Cross-City bus services will be given new numbers to make them distinctive for example the 50 and the 82/7 could be XC1 and XC2 !

Let's go the whole trentbarton route and call the route "violet".
