Because I plan moves based on the best information I have on what is needed for operational requirements at the time of each cascade, but a lot has changed in the last 6 months

It was waste of time to send 6101-6110 to AG.4687-4696 Could have stayed.

I'm not sure if the intergrating of students into University of Birmingham has been put on hold with the City's current restrictions, but are there any plans for extra Birmingham - University shorts once they're back? As, if the passenger levels get back to how they were social distancing on the X20/X21/X22 will be difficult.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

I love how everyone can do my job better than me without actually having any information on what is going on

I was merely pointing out odd buses at different garages

As a regular user of buses at peak time, I think every route needs more buses and not once since I went back to work 2 weeks ago have I been able to socially distance so good luck with that!
