Point of the 97P service

[Dutsey]

As I work at the Birmingham Business Park, I thought I would hop down to Chelmsley Wood on me lunch and I noticed the following bus route

97
97A
97P

What is the point of the 97P said Pine Square but I assumed that this was the terminus for the 97 anyway?

I think the 97P is a short working, so it doesn't serve the loop and terminates at Pine Square. I think

Yeah that's right, it just terminates at Pine Square then turns round and goes back, missing out the loop of the housing estates.

LOL - how appropriate, in rail terminology

the code PINE means Train terminates short of destination

'Dutsey', I hope i'm not being rude by saying that some of your threads would be better if you use the Questions part of the forum. :) But seeing as it is NXWM related, im sure its fine in this section.

anyway, speaking of various 97 routes, does the 97 City Centre Loop still operate? And I hav asked before but where does it go from Priory Queensway?

To my knowledge there's never been a 97 city centre loop

Correct. The 97 is also the only service that didn't move bus stop in the massive City Centre upheaval a couple of years ago, although one of the Harborne services will be in almost the same spot as all there services were merged onto that one current stop

Turns right from Moor Street Queensway onto Park Street, coming back out under Moor Street Station.
