termini doesn't make any difference to combined registrations

Oh.

Must be to save costs when the timetable has to change then.
23 - Bartley Green
76 - Northfield
X20 - Birmingham Via Longbridge, Northfield & QE Hospital / University

MasterPlan

Speaking of costs, with all this renumbering going on, X13, 95 and what have you, isn't going to be a significant cost to change all the flags at the stops?
Also the de-branding of buses, such as 6880-89.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Probably why it is all being done at once. One set of flag changes and such.

What de branding needs to be done?

To be honest, I haven't compared the timetables, but bear in mind what happened to the routes under Arriva, then Nx joining the fray, then Covid,  then Arriva being replaced by Chaserider, eventually becoming a 15 min service between Burntwood & Lichfield,  so I guess Nx thinks there's no need for the 10a anymore.

Presumably it will probably go back to the previous pattern of service of going to Burntwood only?
The 8 is being extended to Burntwood and Lichfield to replace the 10A

So a new or maybe restored link from Pelsall to Burntwood & Lichfield.

Do we still get a Sunday service to Lichfield,  assuming Staffs County Council ain't doing anything yet with subsidies?

Also what about the Maybrook section that the 10a serves?

Not very good as the 8 restricted to single deck some peak Journeys AM are fully seated by Chasetown I can see this having issues by Clayhanger and Pelsall.
952A Rugeley
Via Great Barr,  Walsall, Cheslyn Hay, Cannock, Heath Hayes and Hednesford
