Someone said once that there were quite hard turns which was a reason to be shortened

The 36 was shortened due to dwindling passenger numbers and traffic congestion in Sparkbrook, nothing to do with any 'hard turns'.
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

There were very few passengers to mole street even back when serverse travel operated the 36 back in the 90s

Can we expect Claribels to have anymore service changes in line with NXBUS's changes?

Steveminor

I am working on some changes at present.

Jack D

Major or minor changes? @Steveminor

Steveminor

You'll just have to wait

Jack D

Will it be long 🤣

Can someone explain to me what's happening with the 36 and 41?

New timetables for 36 & 604 are on Traveline WM. 36 still keeps 45 min frequency.
Traveline WM also states the current 424 timetable is running 23/5/21 - 5/9/21. Whats happening to that route after the 5/9 is the timetable/route changing or being scrapped?
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Not the 45 min should make it to at least 40

That makes hardly any difference.  It would require an extra bus and driver, increasing costs.

@Steveminor can you please come back on the 55, or when 94/95 inter work perhaps inter work your 94 with a 95?

Steveminor

There is insufficient running time for the 36 to increase frequency without adding costly resources at this time.

Regarding 55 service, with passenger levels depressed & not expected to return to 100% in the near future it is hard to see any justification in bringing back a previously loss making service.
