Service Changes August 29th 2021.

I didn't know the 71 used to do Acocks Green to Solihull, so that is interesting!

Maybe extend some 72s or 73s? Make crew changing simpler perhaps?

The 58 does have a variation starting 29th august on VOSA

[Steveminor]

I believe the variation is for the opposite end of the route not the solihull side

[BBS]

Ah, I remember when the 71 used to do Acocks Green to Sutton Coldfield via Solihull and Chelmsley Wood.

That's now basically the

71 Sutton Coldfield to Chelmsley Wood
72 Chelmsley Wood to Solihull
A12 Solihull to Acocks Green.

Riding the Lynx's on that full route was always fun.

Oh the Acocks green 71 that was such a good route sadly was shortened and shortened by more

@Steveminor whats the variation?

Yes - some surprising changes !

[Steveminor]

@Steveminor whats the variation?

That's for @Tony to reveal if he wishes.
Some very interesting changes coming up. From Claribels too as I put the finishing touches to some of my own route changes. (Dont ask no clues given)

Would be nice to extend the 36 to Ward end and include coventry road shops.

It used to do that years ago when NX were operating it; terminated outside the Aldi.

Let the speculation run wild:

Service 55 cancelled from 29 August.

https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/search/find-registered-local-bus-services/details/581087/

Services 94/95 variation from 29 August, showing via Shard End and Kingshurst.

55 being renumbered to 95 to match Chelmsley Wood terminating services, possibly?

[Westy]

Is there anything else for Walsall, apart from the 31 / 32 changes & possibly / alledgley the reintroduction of the 89 / withdrawal of the 60?

It will be a sad day if and when the 55 is renumbered. A part of our network (with a few route changes along the way) since October 1950.

It also says that there is a variation for the WA41.

Not really, it's a completely different route now, the 55 never used to serve Ward End, Washwood Heath or Yorks Wood and it used to serve Brook Meadow Road and the other side of Shard End Crescent.
