With PB covering the Erdington to C wood section on the old 966 that I suppose counts for the 77 in (a non knowledgeable mans mind)  theory. So may just balance out.

77 is 3 buses (extra 1 bus = 4 - for the pm peak), so I would guess the same. I would have thought it would be back on Brownhills rota like before? I can't see Willenhall to have the 77... Streetly, possibly.

Willenhall have lost a lot of work with loss of 36,40 and 69 though

That is true. I forgot about them! Perhaps Willenhall rota may get the 77 then. Just have to wait and see what happens.

I have been told by two Walsall drivers that the 77 will return to Walsall. Apparently, the 77A would still be operated by Perry Barr. The date is on 4th June 2017.
Rumor is,
28 to Bordesley Green,
55 to Perry Barr and Decker operated,
96 to Perry Barr as well?
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

And i would think the 55 uses less buses than the 28 so that would free up a couple of buses for the other new services. I am also wondering if we might pick up the 71 as well as i wouldn't think i it would interwork with the 72 and it is too far for the AG drivers to travel to Chelmsley Wood.

Thanks for clarifying, someone had posted on my WMBU Facebook page that the 28 was going to Bordesley.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

As an outside observer and just a speculator it would make more sense for the 55 and 94 to come from the same garage, but who knows.

Saw Platinum 6824 on the 94 early this morning.

@dingding Platinum's are allocated on the 94 on a Sunday.

Is there any reason why they've chosen the 94 for the Platinums on a Sunday? I'd have thought they'd have gone on the 907?

In my humble view because those districts get enough resource as it is.
