Doesn't it already go near small heath Asda?

If it did that it'd be kind of going back on itself I guess.
Kings Road is fairly close but not quite to the door still.

QE - Heartlands staying as it is. Route may be extending heartlands side.

Where would it extend too? Up Belchers Lane, Sladefield Road & to the Fox & Goose maybe?
Or to cover some of the 73 roads - Yardley Green Road, Newbridge Road, Heybarnes Road to Small Heath Asda?

7534 is at BC. On the 94/95.
Is this a transfer? & did BC need an extra bus?

Thks. It was 15007 working in Coventry that I spotted.
Presume then that it has been subbed out to the Coventry depot?

It's based at Redditch.

Not 20th July changes as such, but timetables from 31st August, when those services which had summer reductions supposedly revert to their normal frequencies, are available on the TfWM website.

Disappointingly these appear to show that the 23/24, and 94/95 for that matter will keep their reduced 12 minute / 6 minute combined frequencies after schools return from summer holidays.

They normally revert to the old timetables at the end of September when the universities return. They have done the last few years anyway

What was this replaced by?

The 96 was an Igo service & before that diamond I think.
 Thurlstone Road/Ulleries Road is today served by the 631 (previous A15/S16).
The S16 started of as a minibus service run by Igo using vans running on Friday only I think iirc

Did you get on the Bakerloo line at Oxford Circus to get the train ultimately?

I walked it & thankfully just made the train, I wasn't familiar with the tube network but Thankyou I'll keep that in mind as an option for getting to Trafalgar Square aswell next time.

It was my first time using a bus in London so was interesting on the 24 to see the dual doors in use & staircase at the rear, busyness etc.

I attempted to try out the 453 yesterday evening at about 21:00 when I was down in London for the first time. Not the greatest experience a few stops up the road it got stuck in traffic and then the announcements changed to 453 to Oxford Circus. I asked the driver whats happening & was told "what does it say on the board and to be honest the next ones probably won't be going there either". So I had to walk across Central London instead as I couldn't risk not making that last 22:02 train back to Birmingham, as the rail network shuts down early on a Saturday/Sunday night.

The other bus I got earlier in the afternoon number 24 had the route number displayed but no destination on the front. I think it was LTZ1461

Some timetables now available on TfWM website.

Looks like 17 timetable on there is wrong for after 20/07 as it shows it terminating at Tile Cross still.

Was on leamington 80072 earlier the NSA's seem terrible on it compared to the NX ones.

"This service is the number this service is the x18 Coventry", this stop is xx junction with xx" etc

Don't think Rowley to Redditch is going to be viable or Merry Hill to Bromsgrove.
Especially 3 an hour.
Longbridge to Redditch seems to barely be able to sustain the tendered 182/183 using vans let alone 3bph. The X city line probably being the reason for that maybe.

That to me looks like the bus had an issue, and got readjusted.

Yh probably ran dead to university station.

Are we sure its going to be a bus depot because if it is then its gonna be handy for me as it would make getting to work easier haha

Is this the site referred to?
https://www.wmca.org.uk/news/deal-signed-to-deliver-nearly-300-new-affordable-homes-in-birmingham/

6881 on the 94/95.
Edit - forgot to check the list as it's already on there.
Strangely it looked like it tracked ok on the 1am 23 though on bus times but not any other trips, wonder what causes that?

Jubilee Drive is closed so 30813 is using Spring Grove Road instead. 
Service 1 is operating with delays due to congestion.
