Service Changes July 20th 2025

The 41 suffers from terrible traffic congestion. Namely Moseley and more so in Sparkhill. It'll never do any good till it gets a new routeing or more slack in the schedule.  Shame, it is a useful route, but it's too infrequent and lacks punctuality.

I'm pretty sure that if there were a large number of passengers using buses to get to/from the QEH, then services wouldn't be being rerouted away.

Always been well used whenever I've used the interchange!

Formans Road is another issue. This route is quite usefull, it serves spring road station, alongside the brand new houses being built in Tyseley unlike the 1 which is useless

Alum Rock Road enters the conversation.

Alum Rock Road enters the conversation.

If it extends to Saltley Gate that link has been tried before as the 53 both down the main alum rock Road & via the back streets. Both to Erdington and the City Centre.

Yep, and all the fun that a normal-sized bus will have getting down those. I've had to take my truck up Formans Road plenty of times; wouldn't imagine trying to get it up any of those Alum Rock side streets.

Folks, the 41 is not changing this month, and the new tendered contract doesn't start until 2nd November.

There is already a topic covering forthcoming changes in November:
