If the X30 has changed over a month ago, why do the bus stops still have incorrect timetables displayed?
If you know of any bus stops with incorrect/outdated information, you can report them to TfWM to be corrected: https://fixit.tfwm.org.uk/
I am not sure what the so called “reliability ” issues on the Number 1. Personally using it most days aside from sporting events in Edgbaston that sounds like National Express West Midlands talk for we are going to cut a service but don’t want to admit it !!!!
Do TfWM or NX even care about passengers or access at all? If me and my elderly mom (both with arthritis) want to access Bearwood for basic shopping we have either two buses and struggle or walk 15mins to 48 while struggling back and being exhausted. The 89 to Bearwood was equally exgausting shopping wise. No links to Queens Head so we cannot even switch for Bearwood Oldbury Birmingham or Dudley so a big walk and still two buses. Maybe some routes need to be looked at so at least us locals can access the shops. Can barely access anywhere 🤷♂️
If they changed 21 Diamond Bearwood to Oldbury service to serve more Smethwick roads we could use the buses. There is already 48 48a 12 12a right by 21 bus stops literally few mins walk or same stop yet we have to walk 15-20mins or struggle on two buses while barely anybody is on 21 🤷♂️🤦♂️
