Am I right in thinking that Augustus Road will no longer have a peak time service to the city centre.

I find it strange that the 10 isn't more popular with passengers living near Four Dwellings along Quinton Road West as it has got to be much quicker route into the city centre that the 24 & 99 provide.

I would say it was down to the travel card, but if NXB couldn't make it work then it must be something else.

Somehow can't imagine it working, as it goes a different route out of town (ring road) than into town (broad st)

Will be interesting to see just how well used the new service is, especially as it seems to be the Monument Road area residents have demanded it.

Unfortunately with rush hour traffic as it is these days the Gilhurst Road / Augustus Road route is no longer the quick option as everyone uses it as a 'rat run'. From experience it can often take longer than crawling along Harborne High St. A shame because the 10 always did used to be a quicker option to town and used to pick up a lot of passengers along Quinton Rd West and West Boulevard, prior to the 103 (now 24) being diverted along Simmons Drive and Quinton Rd West.

They don't seem to have communicated very well that the 10H is not being withdrawn.

Was on the 004 yesterday morning & a lot of people were all talking about what they would do without it. Strange because whenever i have seen the 10H, nobody was on it.

Mind you, even the bus services page on the Centro Website still says it's being withdrawn.
