Quote from: Gareth on June 07, 2022, 04:36:57 PMEarlier this afternoon, noticed a Gemini displaying 95E Kingshurst. Got me thinking I can't remember the last time I saw just Kingshurst displayed on the front. Maybe back in 26 Saverbus days.
Or did the 59 display Kingshurst? I don't recall ever seeing that incarnation of the 59.

See photo dated 11th July 2013

Wasn't there also a 56 service which ran Birmingham to Kingshurst?

Evening and Sunday yes, which interworked with the 70/90.
The 58 currently displays Kingshurst also. And before the 59 there was the 54 also. The AG 99 had Shard End as the destination.

I saw a 94E to Clock Garage earlier as well.

Ah, yes. Completely forgot about the 54 and 56.

While travelling home from Solihull this afternoon, I saw a 76E to Blossomfield going in the opposite direction in Shirley, not a short working I've ever seen before!

Funny place to terminate though.

Not really, if two 529s are running together looping Townsend Square missing the bus station and the time taken loading out would save 7 minutes to pu the proper gap back in service
