41 is every 30 min and so is 46 which shows they may interwork. I wont keep my hopes up for this though

Given the time both services arrive at the QE, they'll either have a long layover or interwork

17A to one AM journey to Stourbridge and one PM journey back to Dudley also rerouted from Gornal to Dudley via more direct route

Regarding the new 20 service, according to Traveline, this is to be operated by Yardley Wood garage.

Looking at the times this arrives at and departs from Parsonage Drive (Cofton Hackett), I'm going to hazard a guess that this is going to interwork with the 27 service? Which would also partially explain the 27's extension from Longbridge station.

As for the 46, while this is shown as operated from Acocks Green garage, as the Sunday journeys only operate between Northfield and Cotteridge/Kings Norton, I wouldn't be surprised if Yardley Wood operated those journeys, would make more sense to me.

Interesting choice of route for the X21, up Field Lane to the main Bartley Green stops then down Romsley Road / Adams Hill to the Woodgate terminus. means city bound X21 & X22 stop on opposite sides of Romsley Road to each other

Just had a look at the map myself and I see what you mean, that is a strange one. I guess people will just have to look at the app and see which one is due first!

Looking at the new WN81 tt on Traveline, it seems that the 0700/1700 ex Wolves continues to Merry Hill

Also the 0725/2320 ex Dudley start at Wolverhampton

And it looks on the map that it is going back down the Priory Road route

X10 is now turning left at Brierley Hill Police Station to serve Wallows Road looking at the maps, then running to Holly Hall

It's strange but actually quite good.

The Bartley Woods and Carmel Grove stops (which the 23 used to use before it got rerouted to Newman University) will now be served again, meaning all of Adams Hill now has some bus service (which was campaigned for a while back now).

I do appreciate the fact that NX considered that.

Just a thought but with the X21 now going to Bartley Green, the 23 could return to its old line of route avoiding having buses to Birmingham stopping on opposite sides of the road on Romsley Road.

I'm glad the X21 will now go by Newman University, that link shouldn't have gone in the first place.

One weird thing I noticed on the map though is that it's showing the X21 going a different way inbound than outbound along Cromwell Lane. Turning right onto Moors Lane then Briidgburn Road and Farwood Road. That doesn't seem right. Surely it would just go all the way down Cromwell Lane and turn right onto Woodcock Lane.

Still confused why AG got the 46 when YW should have it fully.

I wouldn't fully trust the maps on traveline.
The one for the 96 doesn't show it running along danesbury crescent or Hurlingham rd but it will serve those rds

Yeah, I won't it just amused me a little. Although it does say the X21 will only serve the Bartley Drive stop on Cromwell Lane in only one direction.

It's not confirmed who's got either, until confirmed fully take info without evidence with a pinch of salt
