New cross-city bus services

[Solo1]

Wonder if the bus stops over the rd from square peg in corporation st are for one of the new cross city services or something else

Same story repeated again, but with new dates now:
Birmingham Bus lane works along No 50 route on Alcester Road to begin in £30m cross city project

Work on the road, between Highgate Middleway and Park Road is due to begin on 27 February, 2023 and expected to be completed by the end of June. It is being led by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) in partnership with Birmingham City Council.
This will see full closure of Moseley Road between Highgate Road and Haden Way from the beginning of March until the end of April. A fully signed diversion route will be in place. Access to businesses will be maintained.

This part of the scheme affecting the 50, 82 and 87 bus routes in Birmingham will be followed by works in Birmingham city centre, running from June, to provide bus priority measures in Margaret Street, Newhall Street, Summer Hill and Snow Hill Queensway.

These are due to be completed by October. Public consultation on the plans took place during 2019.

Again, these journos just copy-paste from press releases, and repeat the same factual error - the 82 and 87 DON'T use Moseley Road and don't serve Balsall Heath (yet).
