Rumours:
There's loads but don't wanna say stuff till stuff get confirmed.

might be more stuff idk?

Thanks,
i have seen aome stuff such as 16 compensating for the 15 being cut so the 16 will be every 20 minutes and a 16A route or something of the sorts

The 23/24 and 94/95 will be reducing in daytime frequency from 1st June from every 5 minutes to every 6 minutes during the day.

I can't recall whether this is an annual thing, as in are they reduced in frequency every summer from around this date? Or is it a permanent change?

Might be summer timetable? but tbh the 94/95 doesn't need it to be every 10 mins on the whole route.

[GoldenSquid]

With the X2 being run out of AG from now on does that mean we may see extra transfers from BC? Or other depots?

Been told they need 6-8 for the X2, so potentially it could be from YW with YW getting more evs, or from BC. Guess we will find that out closer to the date.

The 16 will only run every 20 minutes mon-fri, sats will remain every 30 mins. (Eves and Sundays unchanged. Rerouted in Wombourne
The 16A will run 3 return journeys Mon-Sat late eves and daytime on sundays  between Wolves and Wombourne via Planks Lane returning via Common Road

15A (Sundays only Wolves-Merry Hill omitting Wombourne) withdrawn.

Is this including the school trips?

Honestly I don't wanna assume, but since AG already has 7539-7541, 7534-7538 would be a perfect addition

Ag could take the ex 50 fleet from yw or if from bc a couple of platinums either 66 67 68 19 69 plates

82, 87 daytime frequency reduced from 10 to 12 minutes.

Just Summer timetables. They'll be back to 10 minutes at some point in September.

Also it seems the YW PVR will be reduced with the 76 being curtailed, so the X2 buses might transfer from there.

Most likely 7535,7536,7537,7538 as I'd imagine Tony would want to keep it linear

That I don't know.

76 being cut means more evs can do the boards.

Absolutely love to have a 66 plate series at Acocks Green. But doubt it, it will probs be a newer 75**

It's a shame they can't slot in a few shorter workings. Maybe Fox and goose or clock garage.

Agreed

Drivers haven't been trained on 66 plates apparently so it won't happen
