Birmingham Central Garage

Probably just the handbrake being released before the doors have fully closed?

Could also be the cab door not closed properly, that often sets an alarm off

Love how the new timetable for the ☓21 from January 5th onwards has already been put up in the bus shelters. Because that won't confuse a few people at all...

Surely the people who do this sort of thing at TfWM need an holiday too.

Better early ready, than put it in late!

As Terry Wogan used to say on Blankety Blank the clue is in the title "From 5th January 2020" fair play to TfWM as I have previously posted they are shed loads better than Centro ever were.

Well yes, they do. I'd have thought they'd be back in time to update it in Jan though.
As people have said before, not everybody uses the internet so some will be unaware changes are even happening so they won't be looking to see what date it's from. And to hell with people who refer to the timetables for the next couple of weeks then eh.
In my opinion too early is just as bad as too late.

Certainly publicity wise.

You try looking for non West Midlands Travel timetables back in the late 80 & 90's!

It's always had ad frames. It's just had an advert put in for the first time in Pride livery

[CL]

So it has! :P Clearly haven't taken much notice to it 😂 The nearside remains free from adverts, mind..

What was the advert called?

What do you mean by what it's called? I assume you just mean which advert it has?

Yes.

[MasterPlan]

Agreed. It looks unlikely the full length of broad street will open so can't see what changes can be made to the 9, 10, 12, 12A, 13, 13A, 126, X8 and X10.

I wonder whether the 23, 24 will run the loop the opposite way as they used to now that Suffolk Street Queenways will be open to traffic again?

It's starting to get off-topic so I'll reply here.

I've wondered before why the 23/24 didn't just use Bath Row in both directions and follow the 80/80A to Five Ways, instead of going round the wrekin so to speak. I don't know if this was ever considered. Perhaps the 23/24 provides some good links going where it does now, I don't know. But going back up Bath Row would certainly be quicker.

How would it serve Colmore Row, It's traditional loading place and bath Row on the way out?

Hadn't considered Colemore Row admittedly, but the Harborne services went a long while not serving Colemore Row before and people coped well enough.
