Service Changes August 29th 2021.

I don't think the people of Old Oscott would be happy with that, your suggestion would add at least 15 minutes on their journey time to City on the 52.

Would you think anyone would catch it to the city? People can easily change from the 52 to the 997... as well they will still have a direct link to Asda...

I know people who live in Old Oscott and they were over the moon to say the least when the 997 started which was much faster than the 46 as it was then, I bet they would love your suggestion about a slower journey to Perry Barr and City or changing buses !

Look at what people in Perry Beeches do... people were over the moon when the 952 first started then it going back to and fourth... Most people here either change onto a 51 or X51 at Tower Hill or walk up and catch the 997 to the city... You can't please everyone or serve every single estate...

My only other option is when the new Lidl in Kingstanding is built and opened is to extend the 52 to the Circle, via Old Oscott and up Shady Lane and onto Kings Road, currently theres not much there that people here would really want to go exactly...

4A will now go via shirley straight to soilhull now right? And 41 will take the left onto strafford road and springfield road.

The 4A will run as it does now to it's current terminus, then as the 31.

Certainly looks that way for daytimes as I notice that the 27 isn't running beyond Northfield in the evenings and on Sundays. Must be a long time since Northfield - Frankley - Rubery - Longbridge didn't have a link at these times.

There is still a regular connection available from these areas at these times  by changing between the 61 and 63 in Frankley. Both are still fairly frequent in the evenings and Sundays. I know there may be an odd road not covered at these times but most are walkable to the 61/63 routes.

So are they making the 45 more direct with the rerouting of the 27 in turves green, someone made a pretty good guess on the route the 27 would take to coften

The 45 timetable and map show an unchanged route.

This page has been updated with new timetables www.travelinemidlands.co.uk

Looks like the TfWm website is in process of being updated, as I looked at Walsall 8, 9, 10 & 41
& their new timetables were accessible., but the 31 / 32 weren't.

(I assume it's in hand & it's nothing 'political '!)

31 interworked with the 5 on Sundays will that happen with 4A too after the change?

Did it? Because I've seen Geminis on the 31 on Sundays before.

48 serving Gibbins Road to Weoley Castle, then as normal to Northfield

I'm confused, the 48 currently goes via Bourneville, Cotteridge, Hawkesley and Turves Green?

What's the route from Weoley Castle to Northfield?

Yeah, it does inter work with the 5 currently.

It used to be operated by ALX400s & Geminis. Not sure when it stopped

it's now Fully E400MMC on Sundays interworking with the 5

Nothing's been confirmed yet (despite it only being 17 days away) but it sounds like from Selly Oak it will go down Gibbins Road and then follow the X21 to Weoley Castle Square, then as it does currently to Northfield.

I can't imagine the route between Weoley Castle and Northfield will change.

The new timetable on Traveline shows it using Gregory Rd/Middle Park Rd/Swarthmore Rd between Weoley Castle and Northfield.
