Not sure when it joined, but the 60 was on the bromford for a small bit before the X1 left. From what I've been told it went:
- X12/X13/60
- X12/X13/X14
- X12/X13/X2 (in days) and X12/X13/X2/60 (at nights)

Quote from: Applesiter on March 19, 2025, 03:11:41 PMFor Birmingham Central it's uni rota (x21, x22) cranes park rota (60) bromford rota (x12, x13, X2) stechford rota (94,95,14) Bristol road rota (61,63) chelmsley rota(97,97a) Harborne rota (23,24) Pershore road rota (45,47)
[color=var(--darkreader-text-111111, #dddad6)]Stechford is 94/95 but at night it includes the 14. [/color][color=var(--darkreader-text-111111, #dddad6)]14 in the daytime is labelled as the tile cross rota iirc?

If you want to be super picky the X1 is on the bromford rota as its on the school dutys.[/color]

Whats the most amount of trips you could do on a rota basis or a singular route. (in respect of driving hours).

I was wondering how will they operate running board 97/71 next week. With the clocks going forward an hour at 1am there will be no 01:30?
Either will it start at 00:30 or will it start at 02:00 in which case it puts it already 30 minutes behind schedule, is there enough recovery time in the timetable?
It's next departure out of City is at 03:05.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

The Real 4777

As this happens yearly I'm sure there's a robust solution!

If the Clocks go forward at 1AM it is then 02:00 so assuming the bus will do the 2AM Departure. The 01:30 won't exist and will do the 02:30

Not sure what your on about there is no 02:30 departure on the 97A.
It departs the City at 01:30 and 03:05 as I said in my original post.

I'm not too sure what will happen, I'll try and ask tomorrow about it.

My other question would be services like the 94 run a 1am service from city, because it will leave "an hour late" will the driver have to wait at timing points or could he run early because he's an hour later? (e.g. leave Fox & Goose at 02:12 instead of the normal 16 mins past)

Got some news for you, the normal twilight driver will be dead running to Airport and running to normal time (0219 from airport). I'll be running the "0130" from city, not sure, on how the timings will be yet.

for example on the 60 to cranes park x2-3 trips on a single route. 

   But as a rota how many "rounds" can you do?
