Regarding the shuttle service to YW this weekend, where exactly will it stop on Coldbath Road? I looked at that road on google maps and I couldn't see any bus stops along the road?
Local Routes

Should be by the Billesley pub,it's a bit misleading as it's where it passes Coldbath Road not on it.

If the stop for the shuttle on Saturday is by the Billesley Pub, is it the 11A stop or the 11C stop? The 11C stop looks the most likely.

Westy

Is there any more details of this shuttle on Saturday?

Is there timetables, details of stops etc?

I'm coming from Walsall into Brum.

On the NX website.
It doesn't go to the City Centre but you can get the 2 from Carrs Lane to the Garage. Or, the train from Moor Street/Snow Hill to Yardley Wood, then shuttle bus to the garage.

Stops on the shuttle bus are:
Billesley - connections with the 11.
Yardley Wood Station - connections with the train (Snow Hill Line).
Yardley Wood Garage.
Maypole.

On behalf of my brother, compliments to the 'chefs' at the garage.

He enjoyed the curry & the walnut cake!

Westy

By the way, what do you use the gas fork lift truck for?

I know we use ours for unloading outside because of the weather mainly!

One of the Tridents which have "proudly serving Wolverhampton" on them was on the YW 72 this evening, very far away from Wolverhampton in Chelmsley Wood, Sheldon and Solihull.
Is there any reason why this hasn't been removed yet, as they've been at Yardley Wood for some time now?

Perhaps they haven't got around to it yet? To be honest, I'd rather they were travelling around in service rather than being stuck in garage having decals removed.
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

Weren't these buses some of the last to receive red & cream, so doubt whether they will be to high on the list for Crimson!

Furthermore, I'm sure it's been mentioned that the buses from 2007 onwards would now be prioritised for Crimsoning; leaving little to no room for anymore Tridents or Geminis
