Three routes affected - details here (note 38MB file) as follows:

Introduction - pg 57 on pdf doc (53 as numbered) to pg 64(60)
Stratford Road route 6 report - pgs 65(61) to 93(89)

Inner Circle route 8A/8C report - pgs 127(123) to 155(151)

The recommendations are set to be implemented imminently and monitored for 6 months.

I've created a Wikipedia page on service 97, mainly to document the background and history of the route. Feel free to add to or correct.

Mayby I have been naive about the use of Wikipedia, although I probably didn't help by not initially uploading the History section, but the Wiki mods have put the article up for potential deletion. If you think there is merit in the article do record your support by editing the bold link in the red bar paragraph at the top.

I was inspired to write the 97 page after contributing to similar articles with a Midland Red (Solihull area) element to their history on the Warwick Road and Stratford Road bus corridor pages.

I have recently written a Wiki article on the history of the Stratford Road bus corridor but am unsure of a few dates.

Does anyone know when service 4 started running via The Baldwin and through to Solihull?

Was Gospel Lane loop service 32 withdrawn immediately post de-regulation and was it replaced straight away by service 41?
When did new service 32 commence between (Yardley Swan,) Acocks Green and Gospel Oak and when was this extended (daytimes) to Shirley?

When did Blythe Valley sevice 166 commence?
