If anyone is looking for 802 it did the 12:53 Castle Bromwich Morrisons to the City Centre on the 59.

My thinking is that the X64 will be serving the QE ready so the 99 curtailment can happen...
Has It been confirmed that it will be curtailed. What will replace it between the Q.E and the City Centre.

Well in some cases yeah maybe, but at Aston Uni there is a bus stop for services into city - quite clearly station "to city centre" on and the real time display has all routes showing as "to city", and then across the road by the Children's Hospital is the outbound bus stop where all the normal people go to get the bus out of the city
They do that to be the first person on the bus rather than  boarding a packed bus when leaving the City Centre they usually sit upstairs seen people do it on the 55/70/94. Often when people see a 56 coming up the Priory Queensway the crowd from the 55/94 stop will run to the 56/70 stop only to walk back down when it comes background on a 70E. Infact a couple of weeks ago  someone boarded the 70E on a Sunday thinking it was going to Marston Green. I also can not believe some people catch it from the City Centre to Solihull.

I think Mr Ram or whomever is on the end of there Facebook Page don't care anymore!
Surely, as some employers check Facebook Profiles etc... This won't help his next job out at "Diamond" as quoted by Jason.
Thats false information he will not be working for Diamond he will continue to work for GRS doing private hires.

How professional!
Just seen that comment bus he is not selling them to pay the fine. He is selling them because he has been restricted to 1 veichle and private hires. Has anyone read what he has wrote about the Express and Star.

How do you know he's listening to music? It might be a hands free device
Ok but the driver I am on about definitely listens to music. It's always his bus that comes every morning.

When the 11 is rid of the Presidents then it might happen, but no point in fitting them with wi-fi equipment with only months/year left at the most.
Do not think many will last a year with sone already having depated,to reserve put the equkment in the recently refurbed an reprinted Geminis .

The Arnold schwarzenegger looking driver wasn't on the 11C today, he's been on nearly every day in the past! Just the ex GRS and a new guy.
I think I know who the new one is. All but one day, if you mean the one who listens to music while he is driving and drives the MPD with the stuck up hair and headphones and also let's his pasengers on for free and has reduced his daysaver price so it is just under the price NXWM charge. He also excepts NXWM bus passes. 8:30 from the Fox and goose?

That is a different service altogether. The Zara route is direct from the QE to the old Selly Oak site, where staff still use the car parks. As Ashley has said you need a Staff Badge to get on.
Sorry I asked who operated the service on here and @Solo1 responded with Zara any idea who operates the service
