Numbered X34-37/X52 perhaps?

Doubt it, as there is already an X35...
Granted, it's infrequent, but it would still cross with the 935 at Walsall
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

Ok how about 934-7 becoming X54, X55, X56, X57 and 997, 997E becoming X77 and X78

Why a different number for the 997E?

997's coming from Walsall do not serve The Deers Leap on journeys to Birmingham.

Seems unlikely that'd happen though. The X1 shorts will serve Birmingham Buisness Park and X1s to/from Coventry will not and both are being numbered X1.

Which won't last, remember they did that with the 97, buses showed 97 whether travelling to via the Chelmsley Loop or Airport or to Pine Square only. Passengers got confused so eventually the Chelmsley Loop stayed as 97, Airport became 97A and Pine Sqaure only became 97P.

Has the 97p been discontinued ? I live off the route and I honestly can't remember the last time I've seen it.

There's no different numbers for the X51's to Bloxwich and Cannock, nor the Boney Hay extension to the 937
Don't really see why the X1 needs a different number for Business Park runs.
If it were a different route along the way (as in the current 900A journeys or the evening/Sunday 937A) then fair enough

I hadn't seen one for ages (I don't live on the route but use it fairly regularly) but i saw one in the city last Monday just before the evening rush hour.

There was no difference between the 141 to Pensnett and the 141 to merry hill. Same as there's no difference with the X10

On another subject could the x3 be being saved for a 960 equivalent when they finally do the postponed  east Brum network review??

I really wish they'd leave the route numbers the f**k ALONE.  Waste of time and needless confusion.  Tossers.
