No problem, just note that the map on that page is incorrect, as it shows the route when it ran to Halesowen. It does only operate to Merry Hill now.  ;)
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

And thank goodness, that really was a rediculous route extension, caused buses to miss out allover the place due to congestion, a few of the B6's that have now departed used to conk out going all that way, it also took over an hour and the half hourly extension to Halesowen never came at quite the right time so without careful scanning of the destination board and number you could easily be kicked off the bus at Merry Hill thinking it was going to take you to Halesowen and then you ended up kicked of some anyway that said Halesowen because a bus had missed out somewhere or was running late and a bus was needed to go back to Dudley. Really personally don't think it was a great success at all and didn't last long, about 9 months if i remember correctly.
