Hi I was wondering if there is anyone on here how has a full list of the destinations and via points for  (NX) for all services across the West Midlands? I am interested in seeing who many Front destination blinds have more that one via point on them or if any side blinds have any via points that pop up.

Thanks

Regards

You can always submit a FOI request to NX asking them, however bare in mind it may take a while due to the current circumstances.  Someone did this for Lothian on the whatdotheyknow website. I'd be interested to see what you can get.

I was hoping that someone on here would be able to shed some light on it, but obviously not.

It's not a document I'd imagine is made public, if such a thing exists.

I've already pointed you in the direction of where you could possibly obtain the information, which I think is where your best bet is.  There's no need to have that attitude.

National Express doesn't have to adhere to FOI requests as it is not a public body.

It wasn't supposed to come  across aresy. If it did sorry. I just though that as there are some people on here with background in NX or also if there out and about taking photos, they could post here. I know at the moment there shouldn't be anyone taking photos in the currect climate at least not far away from there houses.

So even if I did request information they may not allow me to have it?

The blinds are currently done by an outside company and NX do not actually have the database anyway!

But don't NX chose the Destination and Via points, then the company that you outsource it to updates the blinds?

I am trying to create my own stop lists which includes an info page that has destination indicators as a heading.

You will be wasting you time as you will never keep it up to date, as they change regularly
