Purely to stop people from having to cross over a busy road to get their bus.
There are traffic lights to cross the road. No point to that one at all. The Coventry Rd routes never used to stop at both.

Well they used to all run down Park Street when it was open, right?

Say you're getting to the bus stop to catch the X2 and you see it pulling off in the distance. Given the amount of time it'll take for it to turn around, you just waltz across the road and catch it from the stop on the other side. Would you rather there just be one stop so you'd have to wait 15/20 minutes for the next one to come along, when you can see it go past on the other side of the road a few minutes later?

Yes. Then it closed and the X2 etc still served the same stop and turned round using Carrs Lane.
They moved it down to the side of Moor Street Station when Lower Bull Street closed.

Any idea why the Streetly and 997 services have been taken off the flag at the St Stephens Street stop outbound but are still stopping there...

Whilst I'm thinking of such things, where or how are broken digital time displays reported to? The one at Saltley Gate has been off for months.

The shelter in Bradford Place for the 11/11A has the RTI displaying for the 60, X1/X2 are due and how long they are arriving. This shelter has obviously been from the Wheatsheaf IB stop and not had the RTI updated...

BBS

Strafford road 1/1A stop towards Acocks Green always displays no due services and has a error displaying. Very rare to see the due buses on there.

Thank you! Let's see how long it takes to get fixed!

No problem!

Before the pandemic, I reported things and they seemed to be fixed within a few days. For electronic displays, I got a follow up email when they said they had fixed it.

Not sure about now though  ???
