Quote from: Westy on October 04, 2023, 10:39:43 PMWas there any reason why those areas were included in the first place?

Was it down to 'travel patterns', like most of the people in Codsall were commuting to Wolverhampton anyway, because there could be other areas, say Cannock for instance, where Nbus could've been extended.

(Obviously Little Aston, there is no other route in the area!)


I believe that these areas were included due to them being major commuter areas for people working in the TfWM (originally Centro) area.  I suspect that it was felt including Cannock etc would be beyond the remit of Centro.

Passengers shouldn't have to read the route description below to see that it's very different routes. Bus travel needs to be made easier, not forcing people to read route descriptions.

They published about a new 85H service on 5th October, 4 days before it'd be introduced on Monday 9th October, so based off this there won't be a post until the 18th October.

To be fair the 85H looks like it was introduced due to overcrowding on the Rugby school services so that may explain the short notice for it (plus it's student only so the schools concerned were probably given the announcement directly).

The new 89 timetable for the 5th November has been released on tfwm.

I still have my doubts on whether this rerouting to Bearwood will bare the fruit required (no pun intended), but it certainly makes for some interesting journey opportunities

Excited to see now this goes
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

Would that be the complete route or are they splitting it at Bloxwich again?

Full route of WA 9 moving to Wolverhampton 29 October.

Ok thanks for that. I assume Walsall garage will be sending buses over to be used on the service once Wolverhampton take it over.

It'll be interesting to see the resultant interworking, especially on Sundays, as service 35 'relies' on Service 9!

The ex-CV ones and any on loan perhaps?

Maybe not, Wolverhampton loses the 5 which uses 3 buses, might have enough spares to cover the 9 (5 buses).
