I've just looked at the 12 timetable and got to ask is it misprinted? Journeys out of City are fine but there are many journeys missing toward city such as there being regular hourly gaps between 12's or 12A's.

Yes, the Mon-Fri towards City timetable is not in chronological sequence, but all scheduled journeys are still shown if you look towards the end (on page 2).

When was this first flagged?

I saw a post on Facebook that was already 7 hours old.

Saw a lady this morning who normally catches the  Wolverhampton 60 from Bloxwich at 718am, but that journey has disappeared.

She wasn't aware until I told her, so she was at least 15 mins late for work!

I caught a 529 on Thursday back to Walsall.

Didn't see a notice then.

Nx says slight timetable changes.
82/87 Dudley rd corridor normal school day has 25 running boards now down to 19 running boards.
Hows this suppose to help with social distancing.
12/13 westbrom operating just 10 boards now .
Westbrom is Basically operating a summer timetable now.
The only time i have left people behind is during reduced timetable.

Would I be correct in thinking no changes to Walsall depot services?

No changes to Walsall Garage Services.  Also some Wolverhampton Drivers are on loan to Walsall, Coventry and Perry Barr.

I can understand loaning to Walsall & Perry Barr, but surely it's a fair trek to Coventry from Wolverhampton?

Wonder what the Coventry public make of the Black Country accent?

Are there drivers self isolating at those depots & Wolves drivers are subbing or is there another reason?

(Personally,  I do know to one Walsall driver self isolating long term last I heard, & Tony should know who I mean, without mentioning names!)

So you catch a couple of the many journeys

Regarding 82/87 if everyone followed the government guidelines essential travel only apart from peak hours I'm sure the bus wouldn't be rammed.
