The 5 and 6 serve different parts of Hall Green though.

TfWM have spent time and effort and money on more stops than just Stratford Road and then ended up having to make amendments. I recall some stops of former Signature services changed around December 2018, and then changed again in February 2019. Logic can usually be dismissed with any TfWM changes from what I've come to learn.

Yeah they serve different parts of Hall Green but the branding doesn't specify which parts of Hall Green. I wonder what will come of the 4/4A in all of this.

The 5s reply

Gurl don't you start you had the b7s in 2006/7 followed by scanias in 2010 followed by B7s in 2012 followed by e200 Mmcs in 2015 whilst I get anything goes!!! Eat my 19 plate platinums dust 😂

The 2012 B7RLE at AG were new for the 71 and 72, not the 37. The 37 remained Omnilink operated till the E200 MMC arrived in 2015.

They've removed the little red bar that has the area name and the stop letter from a lot of areas. Don't know why they've done that.

I drove plenty of B7RLE on the 37.

By the same logic, the 46xx were new for the 11. That didn't stop them being regulars on the 37.

They weren't that common on the 37 though

The authority whatever they are called now are always wasting money with rebranding name changes etc so wouldn't be anything new.

Done more in 5 years than what Centro did in 30+ years. Or however long they've been around

Not sure what your 5 year comment is about. It was WMPTE until the same authority became TfWM a lot less than 5 years ago

Transport for West Midlands was founded on 17th June 2016 following the first elected Mayor of the newly established  West Midlands Combined Authority taking office.

Before 2016, public transport services in the West Midlands were co-ordinated by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive, branded as Centro. Centro's policies were set by the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority (WMITA). TfWM absorbed the functions, responsibilities, assets and staff of both of these organisations in June 2016, and the predecessor organisations were dissolved

They was.
The Omnilinks were often on the 71/72 as were the Urban 2 B7RLE's on the 37.

Just checked the latest photo for 6907. Since when does the 18 serve Kings Heath? Does Alcester Lanes End count as Kings Heath?

That is part of Kings Heath. Cocks Moor swimming baths which is further on down the Alcester Road is also classed as Kings Heath so the 18 does serve part of it.

Oh ok. It's just that the 18 never had Kings Heath in its destination board before.

[Sh4318]

Probably because it doesn't serve Kings Heath directly. The 12/12A technically serve Smethwick, but not directly so it's not included as a destination
