This is a regular occurance on the X20/X21/X22 mate. I'd love to know where some of these buses vanish to.

Same here. Just seen a x22 to California followed by an x22 to woodgate. That service is broke. About 15:30 needed to get from city centre to selly oak. Ended up catching the 63 which I expected to be chocka, but no we zoomed along. Checked the app and the x20,x21 has obviously got stuck somewhere.

On my way out of the City Centre and along Bath Row i saw 3 X21s going the other way. And plenty of X22s about.

On a side note though, a record 5 MMCs on the X21 today (from what I saw), including 4 branded ones. Maybe a couple of X20s didn't run lol
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

December Saturday traffic in earnest. That bad they're legit using the contraflow system on the Aston Expressway.
Good luck to anyone using a bus that serves the city centre today

3 X14s together at one point today I heard.

3 X5s at Roughley together this afternoon. I was 20 down 16.31 from Roughley, running with the one in front and the one behind. All 3 of us handed over to next drivers in City together and all went out as X3s

Plenty of others running in 2s and 3s

Middle lane gets used to widen carriageway to 4 lanes in the busy direction, and narrows to 2 the other way
