Noticed a Citaro heading into Birmingham City Centre about 8.30 this morning on the Bristol Road. As far as I no, Arriva dosent operate around there so any ideas what is was doing and where it came from.

I see the every weekday.

It goes the opposite way in the evening (1730~ , Griffins Brook Bridge) heading towards Northfield.

Maybe an Arriva nut knows of a Works Contract they might have?

I can not get the timetable up on the Arriva website, but I think it even runs on a Sunday as well

As I say someone did post a link to the timetable in here.. (maybe NitroMatt?) But is gone... I think there's more then 2 journeys per day though, remembering the timetable. And 4 or 5 timing points iirc

Wouldn't think it was Matt. (Arriva isn't exactly his main area of interest ;))

I certainly am interested in Arriva! But I didn't post the timetable

Odd, it says Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Sunday only. So why Saturday and why so far away from Selly Oak?

However there is no timetable information shown anymore, but the information given by Vin looks right.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Thanks a lot Stu; I thought it was thread but someone deleted the post. Cheers.

Anyway; saw again at about 20-to 2 this afternoon in Northfield. Indeed it does have "John Lewis" is a destination on cardboard in the front window.
