I was in town today and I must say Moor Street is coming along really well,


The real point to this topic are two things:

1. Will there be new bus stops
2. Will it be entirely buses only

I don't understand what they're trying to achieve.

It will look nice when its finished though, but i dont see the point in changing it all, all that needed changing was Bus stops and Roads  ;)

I last went to Birmingham City Centre just before the 31 started terminating at New Street. Obviously it got changed back again, but that shows how long. I'm guessing it's changed a lot then?

Hopefully at the routes that stop on New St, will get a stop on Moor St, that would be very useful

Well in the meantime it undoubtedly will cause some disruption, but once finished, and Moor Street Queensway becomes a dual-carriageway road, then everything will be much better.

Only the top-end of Corporation Street (between Bull Street and Priory Queensway) will be vehicle accessible, no buses will stop on Corporation Street.

While Road works take place Corporation is CLOSED to all traffic but that City Centre connected doesnt tell me where the buses will terminate :(

Unfortunately for some reason, they've removed the link to the Map page on that site, which shows current bus route stopping points, as well as future stops after the changes.  Guess they're busy revising it, as originally they had the Corporation Street junction closure down as in June.

You'll have to sit tight and check that page for updates.
