Untimetabled 'E' Workings

[Stu]

Plenty of E workings towards Birmingham spotted in Billesley and Kings Heath this afternoon.

Of interest though was a 27E to Northfield - presumably late running due to an earlier incident in Northfield.

Potentially the driver might be running late on the 35, as 27/35 have some dutys together.

Just checked Bustimes, of the fourteen NX 50s there are none between Alcester Street and Warstock Road in either direction.  Still, franchising will sort that out  (sorry!)

Birmingham Pride is this weekend - the buses are always total chaos when that is on.

2069 - 4E Pendeford

I don't get the point of this, the normal terminus is like a few minutes up the road there's no point in my opinion to terminate early in this case

It saves 4 minutes maybe a bit more 
However i assume its only used in really dire cases 
By your logic tho buses shouldn't do short journeys as some of them are just up the road.

If it's >5 mins up the road there's little point

Guess what
It shaves 5 mins off the route meaning instead of sitting in traffic potentially for like 15 minutes it could save that time
Theres also the fact it has othsr routes that go to i54 from there meaning yes its 1 bus thats 5 min long but that isnt a major loss for anyone other than maybe one or two tickets at i54 to wolvo which would get spent on the 4 6 6A or 25 (which still goes into NX pockets)
