Birmingham Central Garage

Just a couple of questions about the 70 as I haven't had the time to try out the route yet. Does it take the same way as the 72 between Chelmsley Wood and Marston Green, via Berwicks Lane, or does it take Moorend Avenue with the 14? Also, does it go into Solihull Station or does it terminate at the town centre?

It does the same route as the 72 between Chelmsley Wood and Solihull :)

Thanks :) I would have thought the low trees along the Coleshill Road would be an issue for a double decker. I'm sure I heard an AG driver talking about driving a double decker on the 72 once and he thought the front windows on the top deck were going to come through.

Double-decks used to be commonplace on the 72 before, but it might not have gone down Coleshill Road previously, can't be sure.

The 71 used to go down Coleshill Road the 72 went the same way as the 14 when Deckers were operating it :)

This was after the changes were made. At this point the 72 did go down Coleshill Road and it was on a Sunday they'd had a double on there. I overheard a conversation between some drivers at Solihull Station.

Sorry! about that Nath I thought it would've worked the 16:50 because I seen 4900 arriving into Birmingham to work the 10:50 to Airport then it would be every 1hr 30mins before it works the next journey I'll look out for 4900 tomorrow for you while I'm looking out for PB's New Arrivals :) Sorry once again mate
