@2206 129 no longer operated by WB.

@Chris The Gemini routes are as above but the 87 may still be worth a look.

Here's a possible round trip for you which should see you catch plenty of Geminis:

From Stourbridge, get to Bearwood.
Get the 11A to Harborne (mix of Presidents and Geminis)
From Harborne get the 22/23 into city (Gemini 2 hybrids)
From city, get the 94 all the way to Chelmsley Wood
From Chelmsley Wood, get the 966 to Solihull
From Solihull get the 5 to Shirley, then change onto the 31 to Acocks Green
From Acocks Green get the 1 to Five Ways
From Five Ways get the 22/23 back to Harborne
From Harborne get the 11C back to Bearwood
Alternatively just get the 11C from Acocks Green to Bearwood
;)
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

@Chris

4528 on WA8/89 if of interest. 0723 89 from Wolvertrampton. Am I right in saying this is the last Gemini at Walsall?
