It definitely stopped to pick up passengers but I didn't see if anyone got on as I was behind it. I will try to check it again next Friday. It was not shown on the timetable at the Yew Tree stop.

Discount Travel Solutions are operating a Saturday Service on the 11C today.
So yes @Eric Shaw they are operating the 11C.
I've seen 2 Discount Travel Solution buses on the 11C today, KV03ZFW was on Bromford Lane at Ward End, The Fox And Goose at 11:35 AM and KV03ZFN was on Bromford Lane at Ward End, The Fox and Goose shortly afterwards about 15 minutes later at about 11:50 - 12:00. Both were carrying passengers
Does anyone know why this service isn't on any of the timetable at the bus stops and isn't on Traveline WM - all that is on the Bus Stops and Traveline WM is the NXWM timetable and the Monday to Friday only Social Travel timetable which has a PVR of 1 (It was KV03ZFS when I saw it approximately a week ago)
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

KV03ZFN left the Yew Tree yesterday at 0929 on the 11C carrying quite a good load of passengers. It was not shown on the timetable but a bus was shown on the electronic screen to leave at 0934.

Wonder if they are running the times of the social travel on the 11

Probably not in the best mood to write a review about anything, but seeing as they don't have a website where I can log a complaint, I'll just have to vent on here.

DOESN'T THESE OPERATORS OFFER A PISS POOR SERVICE?!

I, along with a few others, have just been booted off their 11 at City Hospital because the driver was "running late". I mean I didn't expect much from the competitor, but the display was showing "11A Outer Circle", implying that it was going to do the full circle. What's more, the irony is that DTS arrived on time at the stop I caught it from! Sounds ficticious, I know.

Having alighted, the driver then continued to pull off a U turn outside City Hospital. Overall a poor show.

The 12:05 11A arrival at the City Hospital is timetabled to terminate there and the driver then goes on his lunch break.

Cheers :) I don't know if i'll bother. I was in a foul mood at time of posting, and what's done is done. 🤷‍♂️ I'll keep it in mind for next time, though.

Social KV03ZFS was on the 72 last week. Has it transferred to Discount? SN51SXU was the phantom 11C on Friday, leaving the Yew Tree at 0915. The Social departure times are 0751 and 1019.

DTS have 2 buses on the 11C as well as 2 on the 11A, despite no timetable being up on Traveline WM and the bus stops, social still have 1 bus on the 11C.
There's no timetable on Traveline WM for the Claribels 75 either as well.

YT51DZZ was broken down on a 11A parked up at Yardley Swan at about 08:15 this morning, it was still in the area displaying not in service going round the Swan Island and down the Coventry Road towards Small Heath at about 11:30.

SN51SXU was in the City Centre at 17:55 this evening.
It came down Jennens Road, round Masshouse Lane, Moor Street Queensway and up James Watt Queensway.
Still with only half  of its 11 branding (after debranding).

I've seen Sunny and RK travel do as they come of the 71E/72, though whenever i've seen it they usually turn right at Rupert Street on Nechells Parkway, having come out of service from Chelmsley Wood via the
Washwood Heath Road, Fox and Goose, Kits Green Road and the Maccadown.
