Looks to me as a normal sunday service from what i've seen running this morning.

Looks like a normal Sunday service to me too at present.

Yes obviously they've not updated the website which doesn't help people. I've just seen a bus go past so past and realised it must be a Sunday service.

I've looked at the map on bus times and there is lot more buses running so why is NX still showing a link from it's FB page put up at about 8.40 am showing the strike timetables. Does NX want buses to run around empty ?

Again communication issue, when David Bradford MD came to WB we all highlighted this it needs to improve massively, if folks are informed they can make alternative decisions, its the not knowing that pisses folks off, granted you will have one off issues on road  that can't be helped.

Even if the website can't be changed for whatever reason, whoever is running Facebook and Twitter today can surely get the correct information by making a quick phone call or two. That is more annoying than the strike itself!

The website is useless it still says that the 2£ fare ends in march 🤣

I would imagine the "social media team" are Monday to Friday 9-5ers. Maybe Saturdays but I doubt Sundays.

On Services updates page some say services between for example The 74 between 09:45 - 13:45 will have delays.  There is no clear message are buses delayed by 5, 10, 15 or 20 or longer minutes.

Yet some say the following services may not for example run 12:40, 14:20 on the 13 Birmingham to Oldbury but that is no clear message in which direction.

If the messages where clear online and have messages at bus stations it would be helpful as not everyone as smartphones to check online while traveling for delays.

I imagine the "social media team" are an outsourced third-party - on Twitter they are still telling people that the only bus services running are those listed on the Strike Action page.

They've finally confirmed it's a Sunday service today.

There's social media posts by them today. Up until 5 mins ago they were all incorrect.

Yet they were found responding to tweets on Christmas Day...
