Avenue, Torrington Avenue, Station Avenue to normal line of route although it may add a few extra minutes to the route
Personally it wouldn't be worth doing. The route can be hard especially peak times to keep to time. The layover on it is the only thing that keeps it to time as it is. It'll be more beneficial if they did something with the 18 to serve it like turn it into a circular route

this is a suggestion, wouldn't it be better to provide added frequency on the X1 between BHX and the City Centre? Maybe more journeys operated by BC to boost frequency and reduce overcrowding?

It would be greatly appreciated, the X1 Shorts are well overdue a return.

Expected this. The 7 was extremely unpopular in Holyhead Road, with everyone using X1. With the 5,5A gone, the 7 can finally become useful in the west Coventry section

NXC E130 on the 3 this morning had a cracked windscreen. Vertical about 300mm long at bottom of screen in n/side corner in front of entrance door. Wonder if the front LH pillar got knocked?
