Service Changes August 29th 2021.

Hmmmm. Pity the PN14 and PN2 don't swap routes after Dudley in the new changes as we'd be seeing shades of a certain Sundays 90s route...

All the new NX bus timetables are on the official website.

So I see. The X21 timetable for 29th still says Woodcock Hill - Birmingham despite showing timing points from Field Lane lol.

Unless there's some sort of mistake on the NX timetable, it looks like the X21 is starting at Field Lane rather than the Woodgate Terminus like the X22.

I could be wrong, but it looks like the 58 will be self contained

Yeah Probably

Changes are all up on the NX website

Looks like the 42 at Dudley is 20mins
And 43 Is every 20 combo of the 2 services are every 10 mins between Tipton and Dudley

Isn't there a route change for the PN7?

It isn't a mistake as there's a map showing the extension to Bartley Green section of the route on the main August changes page. The terminus will be the Field Lane / Romsley Road junction, where the 18 terminates.

Just a timetable change, Evening shorts between Stourbridge and Wynall will no longer run

@Steve3229vp thanks for that, strange it hasn't been mentioned in the changes.

It may he a stupid question but why are they roughly every 15 minutes each in the AM peak but every 20 in the PM peak?

Random guess, but the students all piling on in the morning but there being less of them in the afternoon?

I think it's because in the morning peak passengers travel more closely together over a smaller period of time. Also in the PM the school is just before the main rush hour whereas the AM has the school run happening at the same time as the main rush hour.

Yeah, I thought the X21 and X22 were both terminating at the Woodgate stop.
Smart move cause now services to Birmingham in the area are on the same side of the road (on the traveline map they were on opposite sides)
