Yes, all the ones where the 74 has it's own stop

Okay I've literally just gone past it. It's the one by St Paul's, and there's no other shelter for the 74 there. Just looks like it got left off when the new flag was put on.

I tried to take a picture but ironically a 74 got in the way.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Its nearly been a week since the 1, 1A and 31 started following the revised route in Acocks Green, but they still haven't updated the flags at the stops. This seemed to be confusing lots of people the other day.
Will the stop and online info be changed now that NX have taken over the 36/99/A12 as well.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

I see that the bus stops in the City Centre have been updated to say ☓20 Cofton Hackett.
Still saying 61 Rubery and ☓21 Shenley Fields though for some reason.

The new flags for Pride look much better this year, not to mention much better looking than the new TfWM style ones, too!

If they were plain, I wouldn't mind it being the new standard.

Information boards, dated from 19th January this year, at Coventry Pool Meadow are riddled with inaccuracies; mainly muddling up the operators running the services.

I can forgive the lack of update for ex-igo routes, such as the 539 & 580 - except for the fact that they're listed as De Courcey's routes! :P As is the 74, which is run by Arriva.

55 route is changing around fox and Goose - Hodge Hill Road, going via 94 route then 3rd exit hunters moon roundabout, is this service going to have its number on the bus stops down coleshill road as by the looks of the notices it is permanent

It's temporary because of the expected delays at the Iron Lane junction during the roadworks

Interesting spot of an old Stevensons bus stop on Dilloways Lane, Bilston. Still there today.

This road is still served by Diamond on route 23 (Wednesbury to Portobello)

I don't know whether this has been reported before but this morning I noticed on Dudley Street eastbound just east of the Metro bridge, there is a bus stop proudly displaying "West Midlands Travel".

That flag so doesn't need to be there with the replacement shelter just four car-lengths away!

In Burton Green (between Cov and Balsall Common) I've noticed both a TWM flag and round the corner a PTE one. They are still there because Burton Green is just outside the WMCA boundary (even though today both including the TWM '192' stop are actually served by Johnsons route 87).

During the X21's diversion I've noticed a 'Not in use' stop on Castle Road that's been used a couple of times but I can't think of any buses that went down that road previously? Does anybody know?

Quite possibly. I know the not in use stops on Weoley Park Road were the 44 but I could not remember what route it took to get there.
