71 bus route

[Nathan4775]

is it just me or Do Central Connect & Claribels operate diffrent routes to NXWM on the 71 ??

[966]

Not sure about Central Connect, other than they run evening services and i believe the Sunday Service too. As for Claribels. I believe they operate the old nxwm 72 route but under the 71 number.

V.I.P operate Sundays if im correct. Central connect operate evenings I think

+ thanks its just confusing when you get on another operater thinking it goes the same way and it goes the opposite way  ???

Claribels only operate the 71 between Chelmsley Wood & Solihull & not on the 72

Yes, but confusingly their 71E service does follow the NXWM 72 route!

[Nathan4775]

Im not on about the Services they operate Just the route they take on the 71  ;D

Claribels' 71 service operates to the old NXWM 72 route- straight down Moorend Ave. to Chelmsley Wood. Central Connect/Blue Diamond's 71 evening service runs via the current NXWM 72 route to Chelmsley Wood then to Sutton the same as NXWM.

Is there a difference between the NXWM 55 and the claribels 55

[Nathan4775]

Nope, they follow the same line of route  ;D

[Tony]

Not exactly, there is a slight difference in Shard End

[Nathan4775]

Is there??, I have never noticed that I thought they followed the same route as 55. So does the 94 (claribels) follow a diffrent roue then aswell ?

It definitely did a while back, I think it still does now. It's the Chelmsley Wood bit that's different. I think the NXWM 94 does a loop around some of the roads of Chelmsley Wood, whilst the Clarbiels one simply goes to Chelslmey Wood, turns around and comes the same way back. I may have them mixed up.

Yeah, I've noticed a Claribels 94 doing a detour from NXWM around Chelmsley/Smiths Wood too, its where the 966 crosses its path. Haven't been up that way for months now though so it might have changed again since then.

[Nathan4775]

ohh ok then, something for me to look out for when im next on the 94  ;D ;D

Thanks people
