How do you do an illegal turn at Carrs Lane? There are no turning restrictions

No sign saying you cannot do that, in fact NXWM have done that for a diversion on the 97 in the past when they have been unable to come in via Digbeth

I echo Tony's sentiments. Nothing wrong with doing this kind of turn unless there is a sign specifically stating it. Certainly such a turn may seem awkward (goodness knows I've done enough of them) but it doesn't make it illegal.

Plus, and this is just an observation, but a coach turning in a road (be it legally or illegally) is not really a terribly interesting piece of information about a company that runs some very well turned-out coaches - they're far more interesting to chat about.
