Was there a b7rle on 99 today, as have heard it cut quite a few bits out of route?

There was a B7RLE on there today, possibly 2127 or 2128 - can't quite remember, but it's the second day running that there's been one on there.

Presumably E200s off the road again? They'll be keeping PN's engineers busy soon.

I think one regularly does a peak working of the 99. Which parts of the route does it miss out?

They are only ever on the 99 if there isn't an E200 available, no booked workings because they have to miss Wesh House Farm Road out

Ah right, cheers. Have spotted one a few times this last week which clears that up. Thanks

Wisely Way/Rilstone Road is missed out.

I was just looking at the timetable for the 99 and I saw that the early Sunday morning shorts between the QE and city terminate at St Martins Queensway. Does this mean it comes out of the tunnel, pulls a U turn then goes straight back into the tunnel or does it go round city and that is just a timetable error?

Yeah thats what I'm thinking, it'd have to display 99E St Martins Queensway wouldn't it?

On the blinds I think it's 99E New Street Station. Yes, turns round at Moor st but does not make the stop there.

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.
Service 35 - Hawkesley - Pool Farm - Brandwood - Kings Heath - Highbury park - Moseley - Edgebaston - Balsall Heath - Highgate - Markets - City Centre
