Routes that have to u-turn mid toute

[sonic84]

The 297A at Pensnett Trading Estate.


The 966 at the Fort Shopping Centre is a bizarre one, as it uses the same stop for both directions! You'd think it wouldn't be a problem, as they have those big LED displays on the front, but on Saturday a young couple still got on the one bound for Solihull, when they wanted to go to Erdington.  ;D

This reminds me of the days of the old 247/248 circular routes.  They must have been one of the few circular services which didn't display "Circular" in the destination blinds.  Was either "Stourbridge via Merry Hill and Lye" for the 248 or "Stourbridge via Old Hill and Halesowen" for the 247 leaving Dudley.  The amount of passengers that used to get on the 247 thinking it was the 248 at Dudley was shocking.

The 1 in the evening, it doubles back to serve the QE before heading to Five Ways

The Old Route for 68A/C at Asda Minworth. Also at the Fort .
68A  from Grange rd . Up  Chester Rd to roundabout at Orphanage rd and back down other side of Chester rd to Bagot Arms.
Two short lived ones was at Minworth Island on road to estate and one at Perry Common Circle.

Would the 42 at Tipton Railway Station count at all when it's a through journey to Dudley, since the buses have to head back on themselves towards the tunnel under the WCML?

Surprised to see the 9 hasn't been mentioned, at Halesowen Bus Station (from Birmingham), although the same could be applied to the X10

[PB2938]

900/X1 at Meriden towards Coventry to serve Millisons wood and to serve Parkhill Estate.

Started off in 1997 as 900A Journeys.

WA 41 to serve New Invention.
69/70/70A to Serve Sainsbury. Beechdale

908 now 89 used to Serve New Cross Hospitals grounds.

Think De Courcey's recently revised circular 60/61 goes towards the Jardine Crescent (Tile Hill North) terminus and back out again in Coventry.

iGo , now NX's 99 at Morrisons Shard End

Would Blaze Park terminus on the 15 count?

[Trident 4194]

Would Blaze Park terminus on the 15 count?

I think so had thought of that one myself

66 at Star City does that.
Goes up to Star City and then comes back on itself to go to the Lichfield Road.

And 72 at Marston Green.

Also the 28 and 28A on journeys to and from Small Heath. The Diamond 28A does a U turn by the Hospital and the NX 28 carries on down Bordesley Green East till the daytime terminus near Aldi where they do a U turn and carry on towards Small Heath. The 167/168 at Asda Minworth as well.
