I can't say anymore than I've already said, you'll just have to wait until the tender is awarded.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

May as well send it through to Chelmsley Wood at this rate via Shard End and Gressel Lane. Then renumber it the 25!

A9 Kingshurst to Blythe Valley via Solihull & Monkspath

That's what went out for tender. What actually happens is yet to be confirmed.

Doesn't listen to people with more than ten toes.

QuoteThey're all tendered services that were at threat I think.
So the 46/48, 58, etc aren't on there.
41/46 are shown as cancelled. However a rumour is on Facebook that 41 is retained. Not sure about the 46 though 
Local Bus Routes: 4, 4A, A15, A16, 41,1,11A,11C, A9, A12

Seems very out of the way for Stagecoach to be operating that. I'd thought more like Landflight, beings as they offer services along most of the areas the route goes anyway.

Again, Stagecoach??? The same Stagecoach that are forever tweeting about missing services are now going to run buses dead into Birmingham for contract work?

Or are they retaining the depot that they secured for the Commonwealth games, and operating from there?

Stagecoach having the 41/46 is definitely non expected
