Central Buses Ltd STEPS IN TO SAVE BUS SERVICE FROM AXE

Residents in Streetly and Sutton Coldfield will be breathing a sigh of relief following a local bus operators decision to step in and continue to run the Number 196 bus service.

The majority of service 196, which travels from Streetly to Sutton Coldfield via Hundred Acre and Mere Green, was due to be axed at the end of January due to poor usage. However, local independent bus operator Central Buses will now continue to run a core service during shopping periods in response to residents' concerns about there being no other bus service serving the area. Passengers will continue to be able to use NBus and concessionary travel passes. Travel West Midlands will continue to run the service during the morning and evening rush hour Monday to Friday.

Geoff Cross, managing director of Central Buses, said : "Current operator Travel West Midlands has given notice to cancel the Monday to Friday daytime journeys and the complete Saturday timetable from 27th January 2008. We are delighted to be able to step in from this date as the bus service is a vital lifeline particularly for those without cars. The service will initially be operated on an hourly basis, however we will continue to review levels of patronage with a view to increasing the frequency of the service in due course should there be sufficient demand"
