What was the 636?

Later the 99 (Birmingham City Centre - Halesowen via QE Hospital/University and Quinton) I think. It had some Branded B6LE with green branding at one point.

I thought that I'm just surprised bordesley operated a route that ran between Halesowen and harborne

I don't recall Bordesley running the 26 is that correct ?

26 definitely went to BY.  However I thought the 72 started and the 55 move from BC was earlier than March 2011. Not saying it's wrong, just memory merges together after so many years.
