Quote from: HARVEYCLLEE on December 10, 2022, 04:18:09 PMDo you mean Solihull to  kingshurst ? Or is that correct
It says Shirley to Kingshurst on the screenshot but that is not to say that might not be wrong?

No, it's correct. The new A9 is Kingshurst to Blyth Valley Park.

Just a point, what is the point of the A suffix on the solihull routes what does it mean? "S" I get but "A"?

They're coming off as its no longer commercially viable I think.
Hence TFWM put it out to tender as the A9.

Does that mean the A9 is going via Creynolds Lane way into Blythe Valley. Would have thought straight down Stratford Road. At least a nice scenic way ( if a bit longer) and would be another bus for the residents of nearby Cheswick Green!
