Actually the more and more you think about it, it's going to cause problems at both ends, I said cut the route in half which they are effectively doing, although the one end is extended to Dudley.

Whenever i have caught the 99, they are quite a few people who travel through the QE on it and so are going to need to change buses at the QE to complete there journey.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

NX's solution maintaines the 10 minute frequency there and also maintains frequencies at every other bus stop, but hopefully making the service more reliable as well

So that means the 244 will return to every 20 mins, which makes it silly that it was made every 30 mins on Sunday, very confusing for customers.

But isn't it true that if the new 244 service is no more reliable, then NX won't care that much because it isn't in Birmingham. I can see the route between Dudley and Halesowen having buses running NIS because of late running.

So 244 will do Dudley-QE? Doubt many people would use the full route. I honestly can't see how the Halesowen- Harborne 99 at the moment is so unreliable?? Only goes down side streets.

@Trident 4194 it's just a link to QE which apart from the 142 the Dudley area hasn't got a direct link to the QE. And in regards to the full route not many people will use the full route but many people might use parts of the route like any other bus. Seriously I don't think you have a brain sometimes...

3303 on the 205 but I believe the 3pm ex Dudley service goes NIS in Kingswinford and then starts a 9 @karl724223 ?

Changing a route to improve reliability does not mean it would fail because people do not use the full route. It would be more reliable but you just can't seem to understand that.

I don't know where this rumour has come from! I have been told differently about the 99 service.

He does not seem to understand the concept of how the company is ran... if he want reliability then he should use the gods that are diamond... and possibly his user name to a diamond fleet no.

What you've been told isn't correct. The 244 is going to run Dudley to the Q.E Hospital.

What the hell the 99 doing then? QE- brum??

Had a brainwave. Why not run 244 Dudley- merry hill- QE? That way both hospitals are pretty much connected

You call that a brainwave? Why would both hospitals need to be connected? Why completely change the route?

Both hospitals being connected would be very useful. Wouldn't change the route just add on.

How would it? So you'd do Dudley - Russells Hall Hsp - Dudley - Merry Hill - Dudley - Halesowen - QE  that's what you'd do, not change the route, just "add it on"
