Southern Birmingham + Solihull Bus Route Consultation

[monkeyjoe]

The journalists should really get their facts straight.

"Mr Julian Knight has written to the directors of Centro, owned by National Express calling on then to keep the No. 73........"

[:D]

Do anyone else know when will we be expecting to hear any decisions made from this?

Hadn't the implementation date been put back to end of Feb 2014? therefore changes should start appearing on VOSA 1st week of Jan 2014/End of Dec 2013

The implementation date was always February 2014  ;)

Although changes will appear on VOSA site from January as you say, I wouldn't expect any official announcement or publicity until at least the end of January.

I thought at one point it was end of October this year?

My thoughts:
- Run 2 & 3 via Moseley
- 3 to terminate at Shirley Green
- Retain 31A and divert to current 3 route between Acocks Green and Shirley then to Solihull via Solihull Rd and Woodlea Dr
- Curtail 5 at The Baldwin
- Divert 76 via Kedleston Rd and Newborough Rd
- Run three 6's an hour as 6A via Monkspath and Widney Manor
(backfill service on Marshall Lake Rd through co-ordination of 76 timetable)

[monkeyjoe]

People were complaing about the 2&3 going via Moseley saying they were worried about congestion on the Wake Green Rd / Alcester Rd junction. I wonder how that will pan out.

Is there any further update on this? Timescales etc? Wasn't it meant to be Feb?

It has now gone back to end of March, LS confirmed this in another thread

Thanks Winston, i didn't see that.

I remember changes going to appear on the VOSA by end of this month, are there any changes?      P.S would love to see the changes myself but don't know how to access

Nothing on VOSA at the moment, but wouldn't hold your breath, if its anything like the last network review it will be rather a flop.

[Stu]

Unlike previous reviews, proposals were outlined beforehand, for passengers to be consulted on.

It would be interesting to see how many proposals actually come to fruition.

You can see the proposals suggested in the original leaflet sent out here:
