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

When?

The livery Street stop was 20m away!

Noticed an X20 Platinum to Cofton Hackett on Lee Bank Middleway full of passengers, does anyone know what it was doing.
As 1800 which I was on, took the normal line of route out of the City Centre.

6853 - Heavilly overcrowded and struggling to cope at University North Gate heading towards the City Centre this evening. And leaving lots of people behind.
Probably need some extra peak time journeys on the X20 between City Centre and Uni Station during term time as it regularly seems to be like this.

Just seen that on Bath Row on the ☓21. Looked pretty rammed from what I saw.

Trident 4194

Was amazed to find my X22 from university to Bartley green at 6PM was bang on time. At 2pm this afternoon 2 X22's were in convoy. Also how does the branding of every 5 mins allowed on the corridor? All 3 services have 20 minute frequency. So they are roughly every 7 min combined frequency if I'm not wrong? Having said that they all seem to run together anyway

The branding says 'Up to Every 5 minutes'. Perfectly fine for a 7 minute frequency. The peak extras must make the route a 5 minute frequency from the Q.E to City

Loads of platinum's doing work for Coventry fc noticed travelling through Sheldon. Is this regular work I'm assuming for BC. Is that another of the reasons the x70 rarely gets platinums at the weekend then?

There's at least one on x70 this afternoon. A 23/24 branded one.
