AG now run 07:46 49 from Cotteridge to Solihull. Which arrives at Solihull Station at about 08:35.
4530 was on it today. And think 4658 was last week as I saw a red and white Gemini by Solihull Swimming Baths last Monday.

They have run that for a long time, about 2 years I think.

@Tony I don't think this journey existed on the old timetable. I think they used to do a Maypole - Solihull - Maypole round trip, not sure if that ones still operated by AG, as the current timetable still lists those journeys as running?

This one is a Cotteridge - Solihull journey and runs half an hour or so later and goes out of service when it gets to Solihull Station. 07:46 Cotteridge - 08:35 Solihull isn't on the old 2019 timetable.

6708 and 6710 are both de branded from the X12

MasterPlan · September 28, 2020, 01:29:00 PM

Has the proposed 6A route been scrapped now?

Jack D · September 28, 2020, 01:37:27 PM

Will X12 and X70 get joint branding?

Not initially. Will need to wait until all this covid crap is finished so the network required by the passenger numbers on routes is known

6705 has had it's X12 route branding removed and extra leg room branding applied in it's place

Jack D · September 28, 2020, 05:58:38 PM

Will X12 and X70 be getting Next stop announcments as I know X12 lost theirs and X70 never had them?

BBS · September 28, 2020, 07:35:44 PM

6705 with new Price branding.
7515-7528 will be branded to X12/X70 not 100% guaranteed.
73 to be split.
6711 to Walsall.

Wander what he means by 73 to be split as well? That route stopped interworking with the 5 at the start of the month its been seeing lots of E200 MMC? So not sure what else it can be split from.
