Not surprised at the 25 going which just carries fresh air it seems.

[MasterPlan]

It says the 89 will not run into Birmingham City Centre anymore but it doesn't say where it will be curtailed to.

Will probably be somewhere where passengers can easily change onto the 82/87. Either Cape Hill, City Hospital, or Spring Hill I would guess.
More details to come soon no doubt.

I wonder where Peddimore is? Asda Minworth termini?  This 67A will be a single deck service likely?

And a 71A, like the one SC to CV

Its off the A38.

Depends whether it takes Park Lane or Kingsbury Road.

Stop before grove lane?

Shame the 89 is being messed with, it's a lovely route.

Not difficult to find by typing it into google

Thought WA9 service was going to be run by Wolverhampton drivers when these changes take place. Also was under the impression that the 26 service from Bloxwich was being taken over by National Express buses. Can anyone clarify this please. Thanks.

Interesting that it says cv2 covers some of cv19 route only part covered would be tile hill south

I didn't think I'd bother as a non existent place like 'hasbury' appeared on the 67 Christmas just gone. And I supposed this was another false terminus. I did Google it and it's not a landmark yet. The Peddimore development isn't a public site. Nor is Peddimore lane ready so really and truly it should be 'minworth'

😳. I'm sure that will go down really well with the locals

My local route too, I didn't realise it was struggling so much, this will be the beginning of the end for the route I imagine

[Jack]

It really won't, can see a lot of people unhappy with that.

Same can said for the 46 which shouldn't have gone, the 16 replacement is just riddled with bad traffic and unreliability, lots of people want the 46 back and I agree.

No, It is not Minworth and yes Peddimore Lane is ready and it has no restriction on public access. The huge Amazon warehouse on it opens next Friday
