Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

It's a glorified pull in but when it was built it was called an interchange.

No, waste a waste of money. I'm assuming the one by the police station.

To my knowledge, that has never been used. It looks like an awkward turn for the 11C as it would have to use some of the opposing lane to turn back onto Station Road, and that road is busy at the best of times

Is this the one at the junction of Station Road and Bordesley Green East?

It's an odd one, certainly not used, as the 11C stops actually on Station Road right next to it. The only possible use might be for short 97 journeys from city to turn around.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
