Tell simon that the running times on Sundays and if you can time a few journies. I think we may eventually see realistic running times for Sunday services, as the routes serving shopping areas like Birmingham or Merry Hill need this

HERE HERE!!!!

SUNDAYS ARE TOO BUSY FOR 1980 TIMETABLES!!! FFS

Surely some routes that don't currently operate on a Sunday, should at least have a Sunday daytime service?

The Walsall 77 is a good example & even a Walsall councillor has subsidised out of his own pocket until Christmas, a Sunday daytime service on the Walsall 35.

Is there any other routes that could operate at least Sunday daytime that currently do not?

The WA69 is the first one that comes to mind

Well for a start the 9 could do with a better Sunday day time timetable.

Every 15 minutes would be more suited , or if the main traffic is between Birmingham & Halesowen (or Quinton), keep it to every 20 minutes main route with a 9E in between!

I'd say 9E Birmingham - Halesowen, as often the majority of people left on the bus get off at Halesowen bus station

Haven t you got the 89 which runs roughly the same way not spot on but near enough

Errm, no, it goes a completely different way to the 89 between New Invention and Walsall, which is most of the route...

Plus even between New Invention and Wednesfield the 69 takes a couple of deviations from the 89

but youve already got a bus from WA - WN so why introduce another ?, if it was needed then would it not have been introduced already ?

There are already 2 NXWM buses from Walsall to Wolverhampton on a Sunday, the 529 and 89. The 89 and 69 are completely different routes, anyone living on most of the 69 route has no bus into Wolverhampton on a Sunday. The 69 and 89 are both every 30 minutes Mon-Sat, the 89 is hourly on Sunday yet the 69 doesn't run. I don't understand why it doesn't run

[Trident 4609]

Tbh the Linthouse Lane part of the 69 is already served by the 28E and various other routes link up to cover the route on a Sunday.

But wouldn't it be a lot easier to have one NXWM bus straight to Walsall or Wolverhampton rather than lots of little routes from other operators, like it is Mon-Sat...

[Trident 4609]

Tbh they could at least run it to New Invention square from Walsall. There isn't really much need from New Invention-Wolverhampton. The 89 covers New Invention-Wolverhampton then the 59 every 9 minutes from Ashmore Park-Wolverhampton, The 41 links from Short Heath-New Invention and then a short 5 minute section (Short Heath- Beechdale isn't served) then the 70 links Beechdale-Walsall and the 529 operates from Walsall-Wolverhampton although it have an extra few journeys leaving Wolverhampton during the evening say at 18:55 and 19:25

Personal opinion here, but on some routes Sunday's are too busy for anything less than a normal monday-saturday timetable

Don't worry i am not having a go :) But you started it about the 69 so thats why its in the PE thread. As i said Please don't take it wrong.

The 69 then needs to be timed so that you don't need to wait 30 minutes for the 89 to continue into Wolverhampton.
