the 45 & 47 route need updating because they are always late sometimes and I think something should be done about it at some point. yet they are every 6mins they are still rather late and eventually 2 go missing off the timetable or a few don't bother showing up at all causing problems for the general public.

Really?
Every single journey on both routes has been operated today so far. Looking at the 47 only 1 bus has been later than 10 late at any point and very few outside the TC's -1+4 rules.

the times I have caught it they always turn up rather late, especially from Dogpool lane after 16:00, it is supposed to arrive at 16:09 but it turns up at 16:15 instead both 45 & 47

Pershore Road is running a four minute frequency between the two services at that time. a bus does not run 6 minutes late most days. it varies every day. This week it has been less than two minutes late each day.

Are you really moaning about a bus being one minute outside the TC's window of tolerance on a busy main road in the peak period?

I'm not moaning I just think there should be some sort of time improvement that's all. I know there is a lot of traffic from DogPool Lane up to Cotteridge but I don't blame that as I know it gets very busy

Put too much time in and on normal days the bus would be parked waiting time at all the timing points which actually annoys more people than a bus a couple of minutes late

As a bus passenger for the past 15 years, I couldn't agree more. At least with a bus a few minutes late, the bus just ploughs on past the timing points.

2130 could do with a touch up, front offside light panel looks like it's been coloured in with red marker pens

Does anyone know what the bus the operates the 889 07:54 (Yardley Yew Tree - CTC Acadamy, Kingshurst) does after operating that journey?
