Thank you

Excuse my ignorance is the hub a totally different location and what's located there at the moment ?

Hub has TNT, Argos, Iron Mountain and Wholesale market. It's the old IMI site.

Over the past couple of days, I've noted Omnilinks making daily occurances on the 16. Coincidental or now a commonly used alternative to the allocated E400s?

1929 is on there today.

Wouldn't think so. Loadings from the markets wouldn't cope with OmniLinks

I suppose so. Wouldn't think the loadings from major stops/timing points would help either. Caught 1874 yesterday from Hockley. Got very full, very fast as it entered Birmingham!

Go back further the 16 had Mercs while run out of Hockley, sure they were branded as well
But that was when a lot of services served more of the city centre, now it is near enough just down to the 16 to carry that traffic

The static blinds that are currently featured on AG, BC, and YW have found their way to Perry Barr! Just passed an Omnilink on the 46 with the new displays.

The old displays on the 94 always looked pretty clear to me and I never had a problem seeing where the bus was going to  in my experience anyway. Iit'd just be the the "chelmsley wood" and "Birmingham" that'd have changed on the 94, the via points stopped alternating months ago now.

How very disappointing. I was hoping it was just a phase.

How? It's better they'll be no more Super X displays going round Perry Barr routes.
