Should be the other way around, twisting roads like Rowood Drive should be the domain of local routes and big buses should stick to the direct route
Personal opinion though so it's irrelevant

No disagreement there. (Am I misremembering, or did the 966 go via Damson Lane when it was a New Thing?)

Central Buses are to operate the S1 service from June.

On not quite the same route - Central's S1 will proceed straight down Damson Lane, rather than via Rowood Drive and Walsgrave Drive, spreading the routes out a little more, with the X12 still going via Rowood. This Central S1 is rather a late start and early finish, though - presumably aiming at older shoppers rather than commuters.
