Service changes 24th March 2019

I was thinking a stop could be put on the new road just after/before it.
That said it stopped at the old Gibbins Road stop today to let someone off so it might be.

The Gibbins Road stop is always a busy stop, so it would make sense as people would be able to change to and from the Outer Circle and the 48. Isn't the X20 going to be stopping at the retail park too?

Yes.

Changes to the Evening service are now shown on the 1 timetable on the NX website, which shows in the evening it will take the 1A route to QE Hospital and then go Non Stop to Five Ways.

There's clearly a mistake with the timetable they've uploaded though.
Towards Acocks Green the terminus is shown as Five Ways and in the other direction its shown as the QE.

Not a mistake, QEH to Five Ways is a loop so common to both directions of the evening timetable.
I see the Acocks Green (Dolphin Lane) loop is completely dropped. The new 31 timetable allows a minute longer inbound to Acocks but I'm unsure its exact route.

In my opinion the X20 should stop at Orthopedic Hospital. This is a busy stop, not just for the hospital but for people living along Whitehill Rd and the bottom of Shenley Lane, and after all the X61 used to stop there.

Is it just me or are there more and more of these one way loops being implemented by NX lately?

Can't wait to see what announcements they're going to attempt to add to the end of the 23 (Past Newman University)
I wonder if it'll be blank, have a different voice for the extension or something else.

Seeing an E400 on the 31 reminds me that if it is to run through as a 58 they'll have to make it single deck only due to Olton station bridge.

Interesting. That sounds like the old 21 terminus. I wonder if they'll ever resurrect "Bangham Pit" as a destination.

I would love to see Bangham Pit resurrected as a destination on the buses. It does seem as if the preferred name by NXWM for that area though now is Woodcock Hill.

The ☓21 doesn't terminate at Bangham Pit though whereas the 23 will.

The app seems to have changed names, however the destinations haven't. I haven't had a chance to see if they've updated announcements yet.

I doubt it. The ☓20/☓21 haven't had theirs updated. I have noticed that the 23 says Bangham Pit on the app though so who knows. I still say the ☓21 should be serving the Bagham Pit Estate in some form, maybe even Merrits Brook too.
As it is, it just parks up randomly on "Woodcock Hill"  before doing a bizzare one way loop. Also I'm not sure where the 23 terminates but one of the outbound stops is by Cromwell Lane where you've got the ☓21 going inbound which must be confusing.

I saw a few unbranded E200 MMC on the 31 earlier, looks like they haven't updated the displays they were all still displaying 31 Solihull Station, though they now go to Solihull Town Centre.
