I was told some time ago that the anti clockwise 11a service was operated by AG and the clockwise service operated by PB- does this arrangement still stand?

Both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions of operated by AG  ::)

You're right, AG and PB did use to operate this route in the one direction each, but a few years ago, it was transferred in full to AG garage.

The first 22(?) Geminis were new to AG and the final 23(?) were new to Perry Barr. It then moved over solely to AG.

Dont PB operate certain 11 journeys

Only AG operate the 11A/C now.

Belive they run the 11S

Perry Barr run some school journeys. AG also run some schools journeys, so really the PVR of the 11 is higher than 42, as the school journeys are available to the public.

Dont most NXWM school services all the General Public to use them

[Stu]

I can't speak for school services at other garages, but I know that AG's 841, 885 and 899 services, all show 'Available to the public' on the LED displays.

And I did get on the old S803 service a couple of times, when Metrobuses operated on it, and the driver never stopped me.  ::)

[Justin Tyme]

Yes, I believe most NXWM school services are registered as Local Bus Services, and are therefore available to the general public.  There may still be some "closed door" school contracts - if so, these will not be registered as Local Bus Services.  Many years ago, West Midlands Travel did run a few school contracts numbered in an S series (e.g. S91), but I think these have gone.

When is the 11 going to go fully president operated?

[MW]

When is the 11 going to go fully president operated?

It's already half President or nearly half President operated thanks to the departure of the 45** Geminis. The 5 requires 9 Geminis and then you get a few on the 31/37.

[Tony]

The 5 only need 6 buses

[Nathan4775]

I know some School services operated by Perry Barr say "Avalible to the General Public" same for WA's School Services


BC should really introduce a 22S & 23S that only operate from Birmingham - That school in Harborne, becuase the kids that board that bus are Loud ::), i remember me and quite a few passangers got off and waited for the next bus it was that bad
