Quick question about this short working - in regards to it coming from the city centre direction - where does it actually terminate?

I know when I've seen 74E's terminate at Hockley (having come from West Bromwich/Dudley end) they are able to go round the Circus - to start new service outside the New Bingley Hall - as the bus stop is placed before the roundabout. Where would buses coming from City Centre terminate? Outside the former Hockley Garage (New Bingley Hall) or the stop before, near the Royal Mail Collection Office?

Suppose it terminates outside New Bingley Hall, does it just run NIS after that?

If it terminated at the New Bingley Hall, it could take the first left just after the stop onto South Road, left onto The Creacent and left at the end of the road on to Whitmore Street coming up behind New Bingley Hall and back to Hockley Circus. Whether it does in reality, I don't know. You can get onto the 101 route into City as that goes near the back of the New Bingley Hall I think.

EDIT: They're all being amended anyway. Though surely Shenley Academy, Shenley Lane would've been better as Weoley Castle tends to imply Weoley Castle Square.

Not sure if all of these Es on the 22, 23 and 29 are because of weather or congestion.
