Quote- A central Birmingham bus station where all buses terminate, to allow easy transfers from one route to another without having to walk halfway across the city centre.

You'd need a pretty big bus station, where would you put it?  ::)
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

Maybe somewhere like where they're knocking down Paradise Forum? It would take a lot of tweaking but worth it in the end I'm sure.

I don't think you quite realise the size it would have to be. It would also have major disadvantages to passengers. If you could build one at paradise forum and all buses from Dudley Road & Broad Street terminated in it there would be a long walk or a change of bus for just as many people as there is now with the various terminii, unless of course all buses also did a loop of the city before terminating there.

Then of course you would also fill the streets with buses as well as taking one massive piece of the City Centre out of commercial/road use!

Good job this part of the forum was the fantasy fun page then lol, however, we had bull ring bus station, which got served by the ex midland red routes, so whata to say that one day in the future theor won't be a form of via station for the longer routes, maybe the distanceie ones, such as the.126 900, 51, sutton lines, solihul, dudley routes ect, intresting concepte, I like the idea
