I haven't the foggiest. :( I liked it how it was; Hockley services stopping at SH5 and the Dudley Road services at SH10. ::)

It's certainly a weird one. Both the 74 and 16 go the same way through Hockley and a lot of people like myself get either one so if you're standing at that stop and a 16 comes you may miss it!

Some of these stop changes baffle me. Like when they moved the Harborne routes from one end of Colemore Row to the other. Why? Lol
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

To be fair just from experiencing a shared stop when I'm trying to catch the 16 it can be a bit manic, splitting them makes sense to me, and they're not exactly miles apart so you don't really have far to walk if you see the other bus coming

Plus the DR services stop at the Square Peg so no point having them stop there as well

Sutton lines platinum parked up NIS on witton road (the stop where driver changes take place for perry common bound buses on the 7) around 20:15, any idea what this was doing there as I've never seen buses return to depot via Witton road, they often tend to use the 11 route

Trident 4194

There was an alx400 on 16 today

Next stop announcements are starting to be rolled out of some of our buses now. 6802, which I had today had them. Not as annoying as I thought they would be. The only thing is that the announcements are rather late, and announce the stop as you are nearly on top of it

529's announcements are like that. Would be better if the annoucements would be the same as the Walsall's.

And the 126's, not overly keen tbh, the X10 announcements are like it as well.

The same with the 7, 2 Geminis and an ALX400 today

Have that problem on the X51's Long Acre Street stop in Walsall, but I put it down to the short distance between the stop before,Hospital Street &   LA Street, if the bus doesnt stop at Hospital Street beforehand.
