Confusing 95s : A PTE Surprise<\/span><\/p>\n … the PTE has split the service into 95 (with the one 95s journey) …<\/p>\n … and a 95a\/95b table.<\/p>\n What is missing is the need to include ALL the buses from Walkley to Handsworth (every 15 min) in one table, say the 95 section. Or maybe a summary of all 95s between Handsworth and Walkley would be helpful.<\/p><\/div>\n It never ceases to amaze fbb that a major “supporter” of public transport like the PTE is incapable of\u00a0 creating up-to-date maps to go with these fairly massive timetable changes.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n From the current terminus at the Wyboirn shops and the former Windsor Hotel …<\/p>\n … buses will veer to the right to join Manor Lane, where, on the left, are the remains of “The Manor”.<\/p>\n A right hander brings the bus on to Manor Park Crescent …<\/p>\n … where new housing has replaced time-expired dwellings.
