most busses have cctv screens in drivers cabs so they can keep an eye upstairs if your forgetting MMCs have two screens it's pretty obvious a cloud of smoke i've been on a 95 and the whole bus stunk of week only too go upstairs too see people at the back smoking weed happens regularly especially in the evenings loud music playing bud smelling of weed and drivers continue too drive

So put the driver at risk to go upstairs and have a word?

Yes it's annoying, but there's a button for it, and hopefully the more it's recorded it'll get dealt with

As has been stated many times all the major bus companies are missing journies because of driver shortages

I understand that there's a shortage of drivers, I'm seeing advertisements on Facebook, Twitter and such like. I recently applied back to NXWM and have had zero communication on my progress, it still says my application is open on the jobs portal, yet I've been waiting best part of 6 weeks now, no response to emails, and nobody answers the phone when I try to get an update.

Former AG school contract service S91.

Edgbaston Girls School - Solihull Station

Miss These Routes that used to operate by me (apart from the 40A/40C)

37A Birmingham City Centre - Birmingham Airport/NEC then became 38
40A/40C Solihull Circulars
41A/41C Acocks Green Circulars then they became 41 then became 42
42C Cranes Park - Solihull Station
56 Marston Green Rail Station - Birmingham City Centre (when Liberators were at BC)
69 Heartlands Hospital - Weoley Castle
98 Sheldon Wheatsheaf - Small Heath Asda (back in late 90's)

any idea where to find info on the 41A/C, 42C, 41 & 42. I sort of remember the 42 route, but I wasn't as interested when I was younger?

Do you remember the 689. It ran through shard end. Can not remember where it went :-\

Was that not Lea Hall somewhere to the wheatsheaf? Taken over by Central Connect then replaced by 99 to Acocks Green?

I've still got the route descriptions and maps I made when I was route learning for majority of AG routes over the years, when I get chance I'll upload them.

Birmingham - Duddeston - Washwood Heath - Bromford

Basically the 72 route and what can remember the 14 round by Duddeston Rail Station.
Was yellow striped "saver bus" from what I recall it was max 70p fare compared to £1.40 at the time.

Majority of city running boards have extra time on journeys during peaks.

Most of the 53 & 54 Geminis had both, but they did start taking the foot pedals out.

More than likely got the ferry lift on.

Does the 73 not do a uturn in the Garretts Green area?

Yeah, totally forgot about that! Left out of Cockshut Hill down an round the island and back on itself to Horrel Rd, only towards Solihull though!

9262 [lynx] and 9929 [metro] when in training, 9505 [B10] actual test.

5 does a similar thing, kind of a loop at Widney Manor Station.

Apart from when late running drivers take a peek to see if anyone's waiting (towards Solihull) and just drive past if there isn't!

I never did such a thing!  ;)

17 - Tile Cross
71 - Park Lane
30 - Lincoln Road North
S3 - Dorridge
