Birmingham Central Garage

@Dom @Tony

I have a job for you sort out the mess that is priory Queensway. Why have the 61,63,x20,x21, and x22 alll on the same stop? Just now the x21 and x22 have just unloaded passengers in the middle of the road because the 61 and 63 were blocking it. Numerous buses then went on the wrong side of the road to get past. Not very good at all. Health and safety would be mortified

The whole city centre has been a mess since Corporation st closed. The new 97 stop is pitiful, Colmore Row has far too many buses sharing too few stops, Carrs Lane especially is a dangerous joke when it is busy... But of course we must bow down to the trams! This is what happens when important major decisions are made by bureaucrats who've never even set foot on public transport in their lives.

Something to do with Remembrance Day?

4155 also has it. It's on the 41 in Walsall

Yes you're right, of course it's the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1.

You know very well what buses go to West Bromwich for. It has been mentioned on here and Facebook enough times.
MoT ring a bell?

All of the buses out on the QE & B'han Uni routes, Bristol Road and Harborne 23/24 corridors are displaying
"#Thankyou 100" today.

Does anybody know why all the destinations say #thankyou100. I've also just seen a B5LH with the 61/63 branding heading towards woodgate. Seems kinda nostalgic

Not all of them. On this side of the City i've not seen any buses displaying it, Coventry Rd (X1/X2/60), X12/X70, 55/94, 14, 11A/C, 28, 65/67 and 97. Everyone i've seen has just been showing the via points.
It was only the B'ham Uni & QE, Bristol Rd and Harborne corridors that I saw with it, when I was in Birmingham City Centre earlier.

Its for remembrance day (11th November).
Its the 100th Anniversary of WW1 (1918 - 2018).
