Will that mean that people at one end of the loop i.e the 97a part of the route will have extended journey times into the city now? Assuming the route will go the 97 route to coleshill heath rd; over the round about down yorkminster to pine square and back the other way.

Sh4318

Any idea when the changes will be fully announced?
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

have to see all over red looks very smart, but suppose it couldn't be used as its very close to London Buses livery!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Why is the 97 or 97A being extended to the Airport when 

there is the 900 from Birmingham - The Airport
966 From Chelsmley Wood - The Airport

And no mention of 24 hour running(?)

Or is that to come later?

Is 24 hour running defintely happening?   (If it isn't at the very least the services should be timed to arrive at the Airport/NEC from Chelmsley Wood and Birmingham just before staff have to arrive for the earliest shifts.)

Isn't it about time the started making a big song and dance about these changes. The marketing department should pull their finger out. (In my humble view). The new integrated route has not been announced yet? Has it?

See Network West Midlands website, it now has details of the new service & a downloadable timetable.
