It applies to bodies who are in the public sector ownership.

Most of these can be found on the What do they know site.

Thanks @the trainbasher  could you provide a link to the page.. just PM me. Thanks again.

Thanks @Westy  do you happen to know anymore of Walsall's please? No worry if you don't.

Actually thinking about it, the 29 should be via Coalpool & Harden, & the one 19 should read Bloxwich via Blakenall.

(I've never seen a 29 Walsall via Harden & Coalpool AFAIK!)

The 9 should be Walsall via Pelsall / Bloxwich via Pelsall. (Never saw 'High Heath' mentioned.)

24 Quinton Road West (or Birmingham) via Harborne

I am creating updated stop lists (my editions). It also a great time to create stop lists as we cant travle on the services but can google map ot West Midalnds Network map it!! 😁

If it is to create stop lists, I can't see how this information would be of any benefit to you.  Not to mention that destination blinds change frequently and there are more than one blinds for each route.

I have advised this before, compiling a list today, could be wrong tomorrow. Adeon who do the blinds will be updating the database to improve it, then as soon as one route needs changing at a garage they supply a USB that goes in all the buses and several routes will change, not just the one with a service change.

I also do not see any benefit in knowing this.

I understand that this do change but at the moment and as far as I can see until further notice NX will be operating to a destination with one via point and yes I know the list could change with in weeks but if its it for the forseable then I think I'm going to be done before it all changes again!! 😁

[MasterPlan]

Does it have any via Points? I assume it says Maypoke fir the other direction of travle?

I can't remember as it's been a while, but I believe the via point is still Kings Heath and the other terminus display is Maypole.

[BH2004]

What I don't understand is why the 'part route' got taken off the short workings destination and changed to via points because what if there is an obstruction or an untimetable short working and he buses have to have short journey and it doesn't serve there on that journey, then it will displaying wrong information

[karl724223]

E and part route are still on blinds if you know how to programme them from the cab
And no I'm not wasting my time telling you how to get it up

I'd have thought that FOI would apply to any company so if I asked a private company they would have to comply. So what's so 'special' about private companies?

The Freedom of Information Act applies only to the public sector because that is what the Government of the day wanted.

This very useful guide from the Information Commissioner's Office (which is the authority that deals with FOI disputes) provides details of the FOI Act, including what its aims are - https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-freedom-of-information/what-is-the-foi-act/#:~:text=The%20Freedom%20of%20Information%20Act%202000%20provides%20public%20access%20to,request%20information%20from%20public%20authorities.

There is no equivalent or similar law for the private sector.
