I use late night 14/94/95. They're all generally fine. A fair few months old single tickets being used as daysavers and 'phone battery dead' excuses, but nothing extraordinarily bad.

Same with every route that is at night. I just don't think I could drive down Alum Rock Road yet, seems very daunting.

How long have X2 and X12 interworked for? Wouldn't it make sense for the X12 and X13 to interwork?

Interworking is done to save resources, not because it would be nice to do.

It was trailed in the summer holidays, and since the October change Sundays have the X2/X12 interwork and the X13 run solo (as that only needs 2 buses at a time on Sundays)

Do they interwork in Solihull, Birmingham or both?

Solihull.

Main issue is people walking into the road without noticing, and the cars parked on both sections of the road doesn't help but also adds more doubt

X2/X12 interwork on Sundays in Solihull (they also have a couple in peak times on M-F)
X12/X13 interwork on every other day in Birmingham (bar a couple of journeys that interwork in Chelmlsey Wood)

From Monday BC are putting two extra buses out as duplicates in the morning peak on the X21/X22 to try and help with overloading and late running

There was a slight increase in frequency in the AM peaks after the school holidays from 01/09 (compared to how it was before the summer holidays) also. which was helpful.

6995 & 6997 have just be debranded, so that clears BC of PB route branding.
AG just have one (6996) left to do
A start on the Sutton branded buses in the Black Country will start soon

Apologies if I've missed something somewhere but with these duplicates currently using electric vehicles (and also being used on football shuttles), does BC have facilities to charge these or is this being done elsewhere?
