Southern Birmingham + Solihull Bus Route Consultation

[Ashley]

The 54 was replaced with an enhanced frequency on the 55

[Liverpool Street]

As for the X64, it'll be finishing in Woodgate, via Bartley Green and Newman College. Doesn't take a genius to work out the route.

So 21 route not going to be reinstated then, :( and what the frequency is going to be?

Sorry, didn't realise you posted this. According to my sources, the 21 isn't EVER going to be reinstated, the management is totally against it. (Although it has been said for the renumbering but it's going to be nothing like the original 21) Frequency is still 30mins or so I'm told.

..and the 55A, which was later introduced, and the 59 covered the Fordbridge Road part of the 54

Any idea when these are likely to appear on the VOSA website? This week possibly? Once services have been registered, how long does it usually take for them to get accepted and published?

Alternatively, I don't suppose you have any snippets you could share/tease us with?  ;)

Fair enough, no harm in asking though! I'll keep my eyes peeled on the VOSA website then! Just waiting to see what changes (if any) there will be to the 3, 31 and 31A services!

Hopefully something will be done to stop the fresh air express! I just hope it won't be as disappointing as the failed North Birmingham Review was.

A few of the changes are on VOSA now. Highlighted in the changes April 27th thread.

I take it that there is no news of the up and coming changes in the Southern and Solihull Bus Review........The silence in deafening !!!!!

[Stu]

It's a month away, Network West Midlands will leave it all to the last minute again no doubt.

It's a month away, Network West Midlands will leave it all to the last minute again no doubt.

It's pretty much definite as the following:

49 is being split. Can't remember where, but will be something like a 49H to a hospital or something. Sorry folks, mind issue and all..
61, 63 - Timetable is being re-done with some minor timing point changes.
45, 47 - Timetable changes and the 45 to Cofton Hackett via Longbridge Lane, Bristol Road South, Lickey Road and Low Hill Lane.
29, 29A - 29A to Holly Hill via the 49 and x64 route. Timetable amendments for the 29 etc
x64 - Curtailed to Woodgate, with the new 29 taking the slack and modified 49 route.

There is 100% two or more other dodgy changes of which I am without knowledge herein lack of remembrance.
