Isn't a set route anymore, you'll be placed where there's a need. If a driver joins with a PCV already there's normally a high chance that they will get the 14.

Is the 14 a nightmare to drive?

Never done it, but from other divers I've spoke to - it's a challenge along alum rock road but after that it's easy.

As far as I know Bromford Rota used to be
60/X12/X13
then
X12/X13/X14
and will be
X2/X12/X13

So x2 drivers do the x12 and x13. And how does it work quite interesting

So some dutys are X2 on first part, break then either an X12/13 on the second part

• Monday-Fridays daytimes every route works by itself for the most part
• Saturday daytime X12/X13 interwork at Pirory Queensway
• Sunday daytime X2/X12 interwork at Solihull Station

The duty I had yesterday was a late night duty, involved a full X12 trip, break trip on the X13 via Hams Hall
