SJ53AXG on Washwood Heath Road, Ward End displaying 966E this evening.
A route that ceased to operate a few years back. Must have just come off the 11C.

With NX splitting the 11 from the 4th July, it will be interesting to see if discount will do the same or will they continue to run the full circle.

KV03ZFW parked up right outside the Nursery on Bromford Lane, Ward End this morning. Might have broken down there on its first trip of the day I guess.

New 11A/11C timetable on Traveline WM from 3rd August 2021.
What it seems to suggest is they are changing the route to run from Erdington all the way round through Ward End, Acocks Green, Kings Heath, Selly Oak, Bearwood to City Hospital and Handsworth Wood, Grove Lane where they will terminate at one of the 2 depending on the journey. And then go back round the other way.
No longer serving the Perry Barr area.

On NK54NUB this morning I noticed its got a list of all the destinations in  the display, various 11A/11C/11E destinations.
Then at the bottom of the 11's its got.

28 Great Barr via Erdington Six Ways.
28 Small Heath via Erdington Six Ways.
28E Erdington Six Ways.

Strange they have these on there, as they've never ran it.

[Steveminor]

There was a plan to do them before I left

Discount Travel Solutions have now ceased trading.

Vehicles stopped tracking at the end of service on Friday 29th July 2022, likely their last day.
