North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield Review

[adam 21]

i think they should extand the 67 to asda minworth .
maybe they could extend a few jounrys on the 65 to erdington via the 66 or 66a route and or the 7 to erdington /sutton 
maybe run a service along the 907 route to new oscott then to kingstanding or erdington this could bring the frequarys  up on the collges road
.mybe a all day service on the 935a to brownhills
  also maybe the 651 and 654 could be made in to one route to run from perry barr to pheasy with an  the service running from the pheasy to kingstandin or aldridges 
maybe the 46 should run every 20 mins between city and parry barr only  and run a new services like 46a or 91 from perry barr via witton and aston six wasy then in to city via 7 throw summer lane or 46 via lozzells .
i have put all this on the svary i do have other thoughts  but what do people think about this one

Any Perry Barr garage insider gossip about potential changes yet?? :-X

[Sh4318]

Extend the 907 to Falcon Lodge? There's currently no direct bus between Falcon Lodge and Perry Barr

[gc802002]

Any word as to the likely date the review will be implemented?

Just hope the outer circle gets left alone!

[Stu]

The North Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield review changes are due to come into force in April 2013.

Highly unlikely there will be any changes to the Outer Circle, maybe some timetable tweaks to link with other services at Erdington and Perry Barr (for example).

[Kevin]

What routes do people think most at risk? Obviously the minibus routes are always likely candidates (654, 651, 424, 600, 25, 167/8, 604) but I'd be willing to bet the 28, 66/66A and 88 would see some major changes, and no doubt the 966 will be tinkered with again to cover areas lost from other routes (making it even more long winded)

[Bob]

A decent bus service, limited stop from brum to cannock through Walsall? Is that too much to ask? Especially given the unreliability of the trains

[Nathan4775]

I Can see the 934/935/997 having some sort of change

Maybe arriva will introduce a service to compete with nx. Makes more sense than the x31, but would need to he at least every 30 minutes. On the other hand it would be nice to see nx step up to the mark and compete on arriva turf!

[Westy]

Why did TWM pull out full time originally on the Brum to Brownhills route?

Diamond must be getting fair loads on it, but their vehicle has to come from Smethwick (?), while NX actually has Perry Barr garage on the route!

Why does it have to go through Walsall? Wouldn't it be quicker if it didn't

Didn't make money

Are they? On a couple of peak journeys maybe but not all day
