Acocks Green Garage

[MasterPlan]

What does this mean for the 1ᴬ? As this suggests it won't be able to turn right onto Priory Road, Acocks Green bound.

I guess it would have to go via Pebble Mill Road and Pershore Road instead.

Well it's from this Monday so I'm guessing there must be a plan in place.

Could it go via Edgbaston Park Road maybe, I was at Solihull the other day and some of the AG drivers were saying something about the 1 route and Edgbsaton Park Road no idea what about it though. Or could that be the route the evening journeys will be taking on the QE/Five Ways loop?

edit - Pebble Mill Road does look more direct though.

Interesting point, didn't think about the 1A when I saw the story
Pebble Mill seems obvious but perhaps there's an opportunity here for a service via Selly Park (Selly Wick Road / Elmdon Road / Bournbrook Road, or even continue Raddlebarn Road to Oak Tree Lane) to and from the QE? Would prove even more popular with students heading to/from Moseley than the current route

I've just noticed 4667 doesn't have a trap, was this deliberate or missed out?

4672 is also missing its trap, still blasting it's cooling fans.

831 is one of the buses on former igo route 99

[2206]

834 - A12.
833 - 99.

I noticed the A12 was using the stop outside the Pub in Acocks Green earlier, stop AL. Are they not using the 11A stop, stop AM? As A12 is on the timetable and flag at AM?
Does anyone know how long the tender for the 99 and A12 is for?

Nice to see at least 3 alx 400 on the 11A/C today. Managed to catch 4301 brilliant bus with plenty of power.

There's at least 2 out on the 4/4a too. Totally agree with you - they're great buses.

6114 - AG73

They are on the 5/73 and 72 every single day @James4368. Its not noteworthy in the slightest.

Okay @2206 only just started spotting again so not aware of the changes of allocations etc.

[I love Walsall buses]

Why was 4676 withdrawn
