The last I heard was that it was out of service with issues or something along those lines.
Cheers for the reply. I hope it's nothing too serious! If she's on her last legs, then I think a trip to Burton is soon in order. Frankly, I'd be devastated if she was withdrawn.

I was in the City Centre in the Evening Peak tonight:
55 in Stevensons livery was on Smallbrook Queensway on the JL1 to John Lewis in Redditch.
An Optare Metrocity was on the A52 at Old Square where it terminated, is this no longer an NX route @Tony, I thought it was being operated by BC?
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

@2206 I could be wrong but I think MD do it Monday-Friday and NX do it Saturday and Sunday if that helps
also after its done the JL1 in Birmingham it will go to Perry Barr and complete one round trip of the X11 and head back to the garage

Should be yes, just keep watching https://bustimes.org/services/x12-burton-lichfield-sutton-coldfield as they should show up on there upon being logged onto the route in Burton

The same one who ran 'North Warwickshire Travel', which was banned?
