Reaction to reduced service levels from Wednesday 25th March

[Isle of Stroma]

97 every half-hour east of Heartlands Hospital, ouch!

@Tony Those are the timetables that started last Sunday. According to Facebook quite a number of timetables are showing for the wrong services!

I imagine they're all on the server, you just need to be inventive in the browser bar. Both my local routes of use (58/97) have dud links that only need editing by the end user.

The 15 is still every 30 mins whilst the 2 goes hourly

The following NX Bus Services are suspended from Monday until further notice:
WB 10, 54A and 22, BC 25, AG 32, PB 38 and 54A, PN 57/10A/10C and WN 50 and 61.

Edit - NX Website has been changed and WB 10S and 54 and PB 54 will now still be operating.

If you click on 96 timetable it says that one is suspended too

New timetables appear to be working correctly now!

Only suspending between Castle Bromwich and Chelmsley Wood Monday to Saturday. And Sunday service is suspended.
It will run between Parkfield Estate and Kingstanding only.


Think the 38 timetable should also say see 96, as that is basically the same route. But it says see the 71 for some reason.

Timetable for 8 Inner Circle shows the timetable for route 7.

Stagecoach Warwickshire are going to a mostly-Sunday service from next Monday:

The 48 is mainly going to be Leicester to Coventry, with the odd late night journey from Atherstone. The Sunday 748 service is going to fill the Atherstone-Nuneaton gap in during the week, with it only going to Tamworth on Sunday.

Same with Arriva:

Some drivers who have over 20 years service were almost in tears at the news.
Our tendered services remain & hopefully when we defeat this virus we'll be back to full strength.

Claribels are back on the 94 today.
I saw YJ12CKN on the 94 at Ward End around 20 minutes ago, heading towards the City Centre.

I presume the suspension has now ended then.

Why would the suspension end, nothing has changed.

Well why are they back on the route then @Winston?
I saw it pull up at the stop and a passenger was alighting.

@2206 - You don't make a major decision, suspend all commercial services, tell drivers with 20 years service they're out of work then change your mind a few days later.

So they sent the bus out by error then?

I personally saw it pull up at the stop and the passenger allighting and the bus has been tracking on bus times as well.

2206 - A friendly bit of advice! You're really starting to annoy a lot people on this forum with your constant comebacks & attitude.

I really don't care what you saw, there's far more important things to worry about than buses at present!
