It is isn't it so your point is @richie ? oh & The Mayor?, remember?, transport that isn't on rails? - Have you ever met him that is so uncanny perceptive oh and your so wrong the WMCA didn't know they do now!

The reverse of that has he ever met me?...... I would have thought all alterations and variations to service would be notified to TfWM before registration. Perhaps the breakdown of communication is within the offices of the WMCA not NX that you blame without merit or evidence.

I saw the wolves corp bus on X8 the other day and thought of you. I think it would be apt if the vehicle could  adorn a dedication plate to you..........

Is the oldbury rota going to be permanently run by wb and pn, drivers seem to forget what route their on and take the 12a route up tower road instead of carrying along new Birmingham road and up city road

Can honestly say I use the 12/12A regularly and have never been on one thats took the others route, does this happen regular.

I know @Jack6101 its shocking isnt it and most users of the TfWM 14A & 24 dont have smartphones how would they cope without with me telling passengers of the upcoming changes when I am on it in the next 15 days and the paper timetables havent been updated either I can tell you @Jack6101 I will be lieing awake at night worrying about my fellow Blackheath bus users.

The timetables for these changes are now available at Dudley Travelshop.

Considering the little wrecks I used this week on the (14A) & 24 in Blackheath its a shoein for allocation to this TfWM Contract. I really do worry about the maintence srandards of the vehicles allocated to this contract and are continually monitoring and observing the situaton.

It's not a Platinum route, but does see Platinum vehicles used on Sundays.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

That's right @Stu I cant get away from the useless haulks normally one is usually allocated to the 20.15 14 ex Dudley as another bus rarely arrives before it at its timetabled departure time to Blackheath I use it a lot so perhaps this comes off a 126 mind you PNs ones are far far superior to WNs ones and a delight to use  so I cant really complain about that allocation.
