11 is increased from every 30 minutes to every 20 minutes. Only change I can see in my area.

Should make things better for people still having to use buses, I would expect, as in the mornings I've noticed people stood at stops at Fox and Goose on that route with long 30 minute gaps in service.

I dont think all timetables are up yet as hardly any services have updates.

Or maybe all that's changing?
Maybe current frequencies are working on other services.

The Outer Circle is the only one with a frequency change. Other routes are keeping the same frequencies, just speeding journey times up due to lack of traffic/passengers

66 decreased to hourly between City Centre and Star City is another I've found.

66 decreased to hourly between City Centre and Star City is another I've found.

The 66 must be interworking with another service because it arrives in City at 33 past each hour and departs at 25 past each hour

Unless it's an error, the 59 is showing as every 20 Mon-Sat from the 14th, currently every 30 minutes throughout the week under the current timetable, so a slight increase.

Shame they can't space out the x70 and x12 with 15 minute and 45 min gap for bromford residence. I'm sure there are several other factors.

Pensnett service 28 has lost the merry hill to Stourbridge short

Claribels have suspended all services today

it's a bank holiday don't think they run bank holidays

[Gareth]

it's a bank holiday don't think they run bank holidays

Maybe it depends on what's in their tenders. I'd be surprised if bank holidays cover Good Friday


I worked somewhere once that had different opening hours for Fridays and for bank holidays. However Good Friday was classed as a public holiday in the licensing department so we could operate on Friday hours.

In previous recent years neither the tendered routes or the 55 and 94 have not ran on Good Friday.
Though they did used to run on the 55 and 94 on Bank Holidays, but that was a long time ago and a number of years ago.

Though NWM website does state all Claribels services are suspended until further notice, so I think the fact that its Good Friday is unrelated to the suspension @Solo1.
