They put a 200 on the 829? The 829s get rammed with Tridents!

Tridents don't usually get rammed, due to the sheer volume of buses heading into the city at that time, but I reckon 807 would be at seated capacity by the city centre

Thanks for that Matt :) Don't ever see 9's at that time so assumed most buses would be packed at that time....

I saw this change into a service bus from being 'Not in Service' - which always lead me to this question, why are the frequency for the 7 so high as to have one bus arrive into the city within 5 minutes from when the last one left?

A lot of NX services are that frequent. Does the 7 warrant a frequent service?

Yeah, definitely. Only service that links Witton to Birmingham

The 7 is a fairly busy route so does need the high frequency, also its the only bus linking Birmingham with Aston Villa football ground and the Holford industrial estate as well as Witton.
