Old bus routes

Erm, there was the 54 and 56...

What he's saying is the 55 and 94 service numbers don't don't fit in with each other.
And if you want relevance with each other one of them should be renumbered.

I never liked it being the 70, should of been changed back to 90 when the route shortened back to Chemsley Wood, the X70 (in fairness) should be the X90.

X13 if you wanted them to fit in with each other, so it'd fit in with the X12.

Key word there being "was"...

Which they both never got renumbererd and the numbers stayed as they was until the routes both got withdrawn. The 54 should be brought back.

Why would they renumber them when they were working well as a corridor?  ::) ::)

Why?
Where did it go that the 55 doesn't serve today?

55 doesn't serve all of the Yorks Estate and it doesn't go straight to the terminus. The main reason I said for it to come back was so it could help the Washwood Heath Road corridor with all the overcrowding since the demise of the daily Claribels 55, 56, daily 70 and 72.

Never said to renumber the 55, that was someone else. I was talking about the 54 and 56 never got renumbered right up until there withdrawal.

Is the wash wood heath corridor overcrowded now then?

55 can't cope with Omnilinks anymore...

Completely irrelevant to the point. Kevin mentioned renumbering the 55 because it is an odd number now along that corridor.

Apologies got a tad confused. If the 55 was to be renumbered to 'fit in' with the 94 could it be 95?

It coming back wouldn't help, all they did was reroute it to the same route as the 55 overall frequency hasn't got worse

Came across a couple of Centro maps from 1998 and 1999 while having a rummage in the loft yesterday. A couple of Bristol Road routes from the time that I'd completely forgotten about:

949 Bham to Gannow - limited stop, Saturdays only (on the 1998 map but had gone by 1999)
961 Bham to Frankley - looked like a peak only service to complement the 61

944N Bham to Gannow via Edgbaston and Weoley Castle (pretty short-lived too).
