Acocks Green Garage

Thanks for the info.
The 801 is still showing on NWM and the NX website?

I saw an 801 last night. Fox Hollies Road/Stratford Road junction heading towards AG. It was a Scania.


Does anyone know which MMCs are branded for the X12?

@MW the other Platinum is 6707, I saw it leaving City earlier on the 5 when I made my post but I went past the garage and it was outside the garage on an inbound 31.

I assume the 5/31 only interwork on Sundays contrary to the notion that they interwork throughout the week ?

6703, 6704, 6705, 6706, 6707, 6708 and 6709 are the ones i've seen so far.

6710 is also Route Branded 8)

That makes sense. 2201/2202/6701/6702 all have tachographs fitted, so no branding. So 8 MMC are branded for the X12.

Just noticed they have finally started to improve the heartlands parkway / bromford
Lane Island. Is it improving things for 11 / x12 drivers at rush hour then? ??

I cant comment on the X12 but the 11 really suffers around that area. More often than not, its usually the 11C which gets caught up in the traffic. In what respect have the lights been improved on ?!

There is an extra lane at Bromford, on the 11C side. So when exiting the island, instead of 1 lane, there are two.

Sorry to go of topic but as an occasional car user that way it's made a good saving on the traffic all trying to merge into the one lane

[GeminiFan1991]

More often that not, the traffic usually stems from Bromford bound lane as opposed to going round the island. I don't use 11C around peak anymore so I personally can't gauge how effective this will be but I reckon it'll be a marked improvement.

Does anybody know the diversion for the X12 in Castle Bromwich as The Green is closed. Was hoping to travel from Arden Hall.

Service X12 - Buses will be diverted via Parkfield drive and Water Orton Road. Passengers should board or alight at the bus stops on the unaffected sections of Chester Road.

Daytime journeys are unaffected and will continue to serve the normal bus stops.
