Bus routes which are never the only route serving a road

[nitromatt1]

Thinking about it, the 141 is another...

Birmingham to Quinton Stag - 140
Quinton Stag to Halesowen - 99
Halesowen to Coombes Hill junction - 4H, 297/A
Coombes Hill junction to Old Hill Cross - 244
Old Hill Cross to Merry Hill - 4M

Coventry 12 is a short working of the 11. There must be others....
Coventry 11X and the 900A are varients which i don't think serve any stops on their own?

[uniquicity]

The 129 (and come to think of it, the 127) is never the only route serving a road:
Between Birmingham & Warley, George - 127, 128 stop wherever the 129 stops
Between Warley, George & Bristnall Hall Road - 128 stops wherever the 129 stops
Between Bristnall Hall Road & Eva Road - 55 stops wherever the 129 stops
Between Eva Road & Salop Road - 54 stops wherever the 129 stops
Between Hurst Road & Queens Road - 48, 53 stops wherever the 129 stops
Between Queens Road & West Bromwich - 48 stops wherever the 129 stops

The 127 is the only route to serve Fairfield Road in Rowley Regis ;)

Doesn't the 231 serve Fairfield Road :o

[uniquicity]

The 231 serves Nimmings Road.

The 6? Shares stops as far as Springfield with the 5 then the X20 starts stopping more and I think it shares all stops to Robin Hood Island, then of course the 76 joins it.

It's always the obvious one I don't think of! The 6 shares stops with the 37 to Camp Hill, then shares with the 5 and 31/A to Springfield, then the X20 to Robin Hood Island, and finally the 76 through to Solihull.

[uniquicity]

The 75 is an obvious one, covered by the 74 between Birmingham and West Bromwich and the 79 between West Bromwich and Wednesbury.

The WB5 is almost covered, apart from the section of the Queslett Road between Sundial Lane and Scott Arms. Only the infrequent X56 covers this section of road.

[Sh4318]

The 231 serves Nimmings Road.

Oh ok. My bad ::). Pretty sure you can throw the 82 into this mix as well

[sonic84]

The 63 is another route which is never the only bus serving a road.

Between:
144 - Smallbrook Queensway & Rubery Town Centre
49 - Rubery New Road & Callowbrook Lane
202 - Callowbrook Lane & Frankley New Road

The 84 is another
76/98 - Queen Elizabeth Hospital & Selly Oake
11A/C - Selly Oak - Cotteridge
146 - Cotteridge - Redditch Road
27 - Inbound to Hawkesley
27 & 49 Outbound from Hawkesley

Harborne Services:

22, 23, 24 29, 29A all share the same road, up to The Junction in Harborne.

Speaking of 10H, they share Quinton Road West with services 38(Also WMSNT), 004 (Hansons) and the NXWM 24

Matt, Would the 51/X51 count with the X51 being an express variant of the 51?

The X51 yes, but not necessarily the 51 as it doesn't share every bus stop with the X51

I may be splitting hairs here, but on journeys to Walsall, the 51 goes round the M6 island (as does WMSNT 425?) while the X51 uses the flyover.  So the 51 qualifies but the X51 doesn't quite...

Touché, no bus stops on the flyover though.
Is this conversation about bus stops or the roads themselves?

[nitromatt1]

Keep it to bus stops, so any qualifying routes share each bus stop with another route. Keeps it simpler.

The title of the thread should say "serving a bus stop"

[Westy]

The Walsall to Bloxwich routes, if those count.

301 & 302 share.

In addition Arriva 1 shares southbound into Walsall but exits northbound via Hatherton Road & Littleton St, as does Arriva 2 but daytimes splits at Leamore to run via Green Lane & Somerfield Rd.
