Numbers on destination screen isn't going to ruin your bus. Only make the network organised, professional, Broad understandable, and simple once set in place.

By the way, this title says 'if you had the chance (personally) to modify or add any service what would you do (my opinion)?'

I don't usually agree with ya. Too right 😎.

51 -> 131,
52 -> 132,
33 -> 133,
934/5/6/7,
997 -> 938
X51 -> 931
Keep corridors sequence chronological and unique. More importantly organise

I agree wholly on this one keep *31-38 for one corridor, and next 10 up sequence for the next.

I had 4763 earlier it is working the 13/12/A 
Look on bustimes to see

I think the x14 should change number very confusing with a 14 already by city center

Nothing wrong with it. Don't know how you're confused when the destinations are different and one has a prefix. Was the change from 3 digit numbers to 1/ 2, not helpful enough to understand? I don't know how it could be simplified any more.

If anything the 14 should be put into the 90 series, but then again you'd be partial to that because it's of your locals.

No doubt the ALFs will spot it on vegweb from there house when it happens

What is an 'Alf'? 
Any definitions/ synonyms anyone ? 

Also, slightly off topic regarding nbus tickets. Can I use the 110 with a nbus day ticket? 

Don't think B7's will ever make it on there. As far as I'm aware the X1 will be a priority for double deckers so if we're short due to VOR's then what ever isn't covered for the day then a B7 will cover it in Coventry

I guess at first people will assume it's more "I'm on loan" Coventry vehicles in Birmingham at first quick glance. When realisation kicks in the local X1 has been 'upgraded' I'm sure the rare chance of a b7' popping up won't matter to people. They are the more spacious single deckers anyway.

Why wouldn't it be?
The West Midlands daysaver can be used on any bus in the TFWM area and NX services outside of it including NXC services out to Rugby, Nuneaton and Leamington Spa.

Wonder how long it will be before a blue B7RLE gets on it.

I didn't know that. I previously thought they'd be something in place for people travelling from the Birmingham area to cov. This of course clears that query. Thanks 

I guess B7's will be secondary to EV's. I don't think an e200 ever operate it. 

Will people be able to use a West Midlands day ticket on the x1 tomorrow? 
Thanks. 

The same way as what happened when the 72 previously ran through to Birmingham city centre.

It is a "brilliant route" now (in your words) because it does what it needs to do reliably, ie provides a link from Chelmsley Wood to Solihull via Marston Green, Garretts Green and Sheldon.

Yeah but the X12 does the expressway, Cwood, Solihull, fine. my proposal is a reroute of the X12 . It wouldn't do the previous 72 through washwood heath.

72 as of now is a good money maker too. 

All this will do is make reliability worse.

How though 

A 97A to nec again every 30 minutes is good

I mean yeah it was replaced by the X12. I don't think shorts, or half hour extensions are bad at all. The 72 only goes so far anyway, an added half hour extension can only be beneficial. it's not exactly like people choose to get a bus to the airport fgs. Yes the nec is a needed service but it's that close to Cwood something else could replace.

[X13...]

First, how could you pair up the X12 and 72 when the X12 is every 30 minutes and the 72 is every 10 minutes.
Secondly, the 71 was cut to run Sutton and Chelmsley only for a very good reason which of course is reliabilty.

Shorts. 72a, twice in half hour. 72, once in half hour.

71 was an idea. I'd have something else cover that part of the X12 maybe 97 or X13...

I would make the 6 (Walsall to Sutton) extend on the X14 route till Walmley village, then take on the 71 to Minworth Asda to terminate.

I'd reroute the X14 to go via the falcon lodge crescent like the X4 does currently. With that, I'd rid of the X4.

This 6 service would be a fast and direct route from Walsall to Minworth every 30 mins. Giving beneficial links; Minworth, falcon lodge, Sutton, hill hook, Aldridge and Walsall.

- with this i would reroute the 77 service to not go to Minworth.

I would have the X12 from Birmingham to chelmsley wood, and the 72 route, joined up.  

The X12 chelmsley wood to Solihull I would have the 71 or X13 replace. 

72 is a brilliant route.
