Yet another one to try their hand on the Outer Circle.

What happened to them putting in an appearance on the 222?

I believe they have deregistered the 246 as well from the same date, looks like the Black Country has too many bus stations!

Saw a bus come out of the GRS garage by Bilston Bus Station at around 3:30 showing 246E Brierley Hill, Short Journey (Trainbashers handywork:) )

Was it a pointer or the crusader dart? If so yeah I can take the credit for that...

No bus sttations on the 11A!  :) :)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Trident 4194

What would the frequency be?

Frequency, probably wait till the GRS driver sees a NX 11A in his mirror and then leave, did they ever publish a timetable for the 246?

They used to be hilarious on the 16. There was an oldish guy who drove so slow but made sure he kept ahead of nx. However diamond were a bit to quick for GRS lol

Outer Circle passengers are going to be spoilt for choice, clapped out old NXWM buses, or clapped out old GRS buses!  8)

Would it have not made more sense to register these as 11E journeys, to operate both ways between Acocks Green and Handsworth?

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

I would have thought they must have registered both ways otherwise buses will be at the AG end of the route.

I guess if you've been banned from Birmingham City Centre and from both Dudley and Stourbridge Bus Stations you have somewhat limited options. If Joe's loadings on  the 11 is anything to go by then GRS will carry very few passengers, especially off peak times. At least the GRS fleet is low floor.

Thats a point Stu, how will buses get back to Handsworth to start on another journey? Perhaps they think if you register on the 11A, then you can run on the 11C to.

Were they actually banned or would they not pay the money to use them, hence why they couldn't operate the 222.

Unless it's going to be a full 11A but with the route being split into 2 parts?

There is nothing to stop them showing 11 A in both directions on half the route. Competitors don't have to use the same numbers as NX
