Perry Barr Garage

[2206]

Seems to be more quite a few platinums on the 55/94 routes today.
Presumably using spares from reduced Christmas timetables.

Including 7510 which I caught on the 94 this evening.

Minor changes on 55/94 so from 3rd taken away the 10 gap time in the city before turning around (on sundays). Does this mean the Jennens rd situation is sorting itself out now ??

1877 was on the 94 yesterday evening.
A little late for anyone wanting to see it, but I have no doubt someone keeps a list somewhere.

Yes, I saw that one as well at the Fox & Goose.
And 1904 was on the 94 one night, might be the night before if I remember correctly.
Which made that one the 3rd this week - 1831, 1904 and 1877.

Perry Barr's garage move is getting talked about in the Commons.

I dunno how feasible this would be, but it may be an idea for the 96 to have its timings tweaked so the buses didn't end up passing each other on Kingfisher Drive?

Last night when I was out for a walk, I got to observe the spectacle of not only the two buses having to squeeze past each other, but the unenviable task of then having to squeeze the bus around the awfully parked cars (one of the cars had parked just behind the Erdington-bound bus stop on Burtons Way, which made it a nice squeeze around that kink in the road). It does seem to happen quite a lot to them.

They're scheduled to meet there. It's exactly the same story on The Hurstway. They're timetabled to meet on the bend closest to College Road. It's narrow and double parked all the way round. It's a nightmare.

1871 has a grey display like the platinum buses and route number on the left of the display.

4812, I suppose... has got a mega-rear ad for Footasylum.
