With the regeneration of the Selly Oak Triangle well underway are there any plans to re-route services around the area? Both Chapel Lane & Harborne Lane are to become 2-way roads. I thought one would be for buses and the other for cars but the plan shows stops on both.
Also the long-standing bus stop by the Bear & Staff is set to be replaced due to the new cycle lane but 3 bus stops have been built. They can't all be for the 61/63.

They're now looking for the public's views on possible diversions.

I don't know whether this would work but what about 24hr services that run to the hospitals? The 97 already goes to Heartlands, but how about the 82 or 87 to City Hospital, and having one for the QE too? If not full journeys then perhaps short workings to the QE from outbound destinations?

Hey, I was just wondering who makes the decisions on what is displayed on each route's buses and what the thought processes are.
I saw an X64 yesterday that said Birmingham, via QE Hospital instead of Birmingham Limited stop and it made me wonder. And like why some have scrolling and some flash through the pdifferent places.
