Untimetabled 'E' Workings

31E to Acocks Green just arrived a few minutes ago (from city) as I was getting home

And a 31E to Shaftmoor Lane has just passed my house.

City was rammed today. There was a bit of a gap on the 37s, with a lot of them bunching up in Town.

I was one of the late runners lol, went into Solihull Town Centre and back out again a couple of times to try and bridge the gaps, under the instruction of the inspectors.

6712 has just left Moor Street on a 957E to Solihull Touchwood Centre. Was running somewhat late I think.

I don't see the point in running an E journey like that, surely it doesn't save that much time but does inconvenience passengers.

If town is rammed with traffic it does. Allows the bus to get back on time or close on time.

As John has put in another post it took him 40 minutes to get around the City Centre today, so it can save a massive amount, It can also mean a lot of passenger catching the return journey along Broad Street get a bus instead of a 40 minute wait, so very much helping the  majority when the main flow is outbound in the afternoon

I sat on an 11C from Perry Barr which had Outer Circle displaying so imagine the passengers faces when the driver told us to get off at Fox and Goose and the display was reading 11E !
