the bus pole outside the garage towards City says 2, 27 & 50 stop there?

Wouldn't that be a bus stop flag for the Maypole or somewhere around there?

No, the 2 doesn't share any common bus stops with the 27 or 50 at the Maypole

Looks like another Centro bus stop coding cockup same as we had in Acocks Green village!

(I know Centro / Network West Midlands have had to make cutbacks, but they could have kept some of the more-intelligent staff on lol  ;))

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

have reported it on Network West Midlands website, not the first time i have reported a "wrong " bus stop, last year for a day the 120 127 128 & 129 stopped at the stop on Lye By pass!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Sorry! Couldn't remember exactly where the 2 stops! It was worth a guess i suppose

Just to add the stop by Kings Heath park also shows 50 now, although that one does not mention Green Bus, just a general 50 on the flag, unlike the stop on the high street which specifically says Green Bus 50 only. Neither of the stops have had any new timetables added... I get the impression this is the service the above stops should all be displaying http://www.thegreenbus.co.uk/bus_services/route/50X/14-15/ 50X Kings Heath to Hollywood via Yardley Wood.

Cheers John! I'd mistake it for the 5 if I didn't look properly

Just seen 4738 on the 18 coming up Watford Road into Cotteridge instead of turning right out of Northfield Road. Are 18s on diversion or was he a bit lost I wonder?

Received a reply from Centro concerning the bus stop pole outside Yardley Wood Garage showing route 50, they have said that The Green Bus have diverted there 50 service from 27 April 2014 so that they call at that stop???

Might be a school service, in a similar way that FW1 & FW7 journeys were partially renumbered 22S.

Have checked the 50 TGB timetable, one journey in calls at that stop each evening?
