Service Changes October 3rd 2021.

[2206]

New notice on 4843 says
"From Sunday 3rd October there will be some frequency changes on some services to improve reliability. Please see our website for more info"

4921 also displaying 45E West Hth on the rear display as well. Don't normally see destination on the rear.

Edit - these timetables are now on NX site.
94/95 seem to be combine to 5 minutes to Ward End and every 10 minutes beyond.
X1/X2 remain at every 15 minutes during the peak times it seems, now decrease off peak to every 20 mins. With Coventry journeys being increased to run every 20 minutes all day - no more short workings to International for most of the day.

NX appear to be running to new timetables today as well, just haven't bothered publishing them.

Just been stood for half an hour at Rectory Road on Whitehouse Common waiting for the X14 to Pype Hayes, due 1222 according to the app and 1223 according to the case, was there at 1217 (the time it's due off Sutton). Ended up on the 1242 instead. App doesn't track the X14 so it just drops off after it's due. If I'd known it wasn't coming I'd have caught a bus into Sutton.

Utterly useless, complaint logged.

X14 does appear on bustimes.org you could have checked on there

Many Services across the network are late today due to petrol station que and diversions.

What is the point in them having an app that only tracks some of their services? I shouldn't need bustimes.

That bus on its previous working would have been in the city at about 1045 by my reckoning, too early to blame Pride. Driver on the next one was getting hell. Not good enough on a service that only runs every 20 minutes in the first place.

From bus times it appears the bus 4479 had to return to the garage for some reason and a change bus 6805 went out. But as a result this trip was missed.

According to Staffordshire CC the 8 is changing.

do you know in what way?

[Westy]

Talking of the 8 & 9 in Walsall, there seems to be a bit of confusion over which version of the 'new' timetable to use.

If you look at the timetable, by going in via the link from the 8 web page, it brings up the current 5 September timetable, albeit in the 'old' format.

https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/services-timetables/8-walsall-lichfield

If you go in via the 9 web page, it brings up the new format & a choice of the current timetable or the 3/10 version.

https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/services-timetables/9-walsall-bloxwich

If you select the 3/10 version, you will get the new format timetable, but if you look carefully, you will notice the timetable is duplicated in the main!

It's obviously wrong.

Acocks green corridor is now 6 mins and full 4 10 mins

I gather that most services are getting reductions in times to try and free up some staff while there's an issue with the numbers.

Of course the 50 is shown to be still running every four to five minutes (it says 10 minutes or less, but the times suggest 4-5 min). Diamond are running every ten minutes on the corridor as well. Priorities, priorities.

The 50 is losing buses, the same as other frequent routes, so no need for ill-informed sarcasm
