The 'keys' were handed over a couple of weeks ago and some work has been going on down there since then, but tonight is the first time the fleet will run back into that garage not the old one at the end of service.

46 back to londonderry would be a good idea

The 48/48A and 89 do a more than adequate job of covering that iteration of the 46.

Hales Lane, Thimblemill Road and Londonderry Lane are served by the 89. St. Paul's Road is covered by the 54/54A, and Manor Road passengers have the 48/48A on one end of the road and the 89 on the other
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

If you look back through this thread, you'll see Tony has already confirmed the X14 will be operated by Birmingham Central from January.

As for the 60, I doubt it.

I was thinking the same for the 60, people I the Facebook enthusiast group said 60 is moving to AG. 1 person said the X12 is too.
