Acocks Green Garage

AG 41 will be QE Hospital to Heartlands Hospital via Acocks Green from 24th April.
Likely replacing the claribel 36.

Mostly replacing it I would think, certainly for some time I've thought that the 36 could have done with being broken up and incorporated somehow into other routes, as on the few occasions I've seen it its rarely carried many passengers.

Perhaps from Olton Boulevard West, the 41 will then follow the current 36 route to Heartlands Hospital, or maybe some other parts might be missed out, depending on usage.

Curiously, the TfWM website shows a new timetable for the 41 from 24th April, but this shows as still running between QEH and Acocks Green only.

seems like 46 is also getting a EBSR

From TFWM timetable new 41 route is:
Current 41 from QE to Spring Road, Olton Boulevard East, Shirley Road, Warwick Road, Stockfield Road, Wharfdale Road, Kings Road, etc as 36 route to Heartlands.
604 seems to have variation to route  in Sutton out of Sutton via 110 route to Good Hope (Rectory Road).

EBSR = "Electronic Bus Service Registration"

That variation will likely be a timetable adjustment, as the 41 it interworks with will be getting an amended timetable.

The 36 did have a bit of a convoluted route through Acocks Green, so I did suspect some lesser-used parts might be omitted.

So probably the onslow road part and Knights road stops note to be served although onslow road did have a few people using it for the 36

2206 has already confirmed the new route above.

Strange to see 4653 withdrawal, was there any reason behind this

Is the new S16 service able to have DDs? Or will it have the same allocation as the 32

It's going to be operated by the peak board on the 73 route from AG

I noticed yesterday afternoon 4279 tracking on the 11C on bustimes.org but shown as a purplish livery. Was this just an error or has something changed?
