I've always thought that about my local bus routes and their stopping places, which is why would rather drive any day.

Just seen 4162 do a 360 on the Richmond 5 ways roundabout, quite impressed I must admit and its NIT, parked up on Richmond Road

[Liverpool Street]

Hopefully they will stay at Albert Street. For such major services as the 61 and 63 to only come as close to the City Centre as New Street Station is pretty poor, the Albert Street stop opens these services up to a different section of the City.

Hopefully not! I bet it just causes delays in the city even more services using Carr's Lane and Albert Street. Great move NX. Pffft.

If I had to choose a service that terminates at Albert Street, it would probably a Broad Street serving bus (9 springs to mind), need more buses connecting the Queensway to Broad Street.

Why not just walk? Or catch the 16, 82, 87?

I would but I don't everyone would, plus those services dont go to Broad Street.

Then you catch the 126 from that side of town

No

Nope, Serves Colmore Row

[Trident 4194]

No

I need to go to birmingham more often

[Stu]

Its a five minute walk from Carrs Lane to Colmore Row, at least that's how long it takes me. Its quicker than walking to a nearby bus stop and waiting for a connecting bus. And the exercise does me good.  ;)

You have to remember nxwm are a business and they aren't going to add extra time or cost if it's nlt going to bring in more revenue. They offer the £1 city hop for people who want to make a short journey so extending services to cover more of town will reduce the amount of people needing multiple buses

[Kevin]

Hopefully the BR services won't stay at Albert Street long, because I've just heard that with the next phase of Paradise Circus works the 82/87 will terminate there instead of looping the city

But they'll have to loop the city to get to Albert Street won't they?
