If you had the chance to modify or add any service, what would you do?

I can't remember how long these roadworks are on for, but the Stratford Road services could do with a timetable change out of city during the evening peak.

Not because they're being delayed and held up, in fact the opposite!

When catching either the 2 or 3 to home in the evening, they regularly arrive at the Auckland Road stop about five minutes early. I think its also the case for the others, as there's often several buses parked up by Aldi having to wait time.

This evening's journey is quite typical now:

I recall the timetables were adjusted during the Digbeth roadworks, which have now mainly finished, so a combination of reduced congestion, plus a shorter journey distance as a result of being able to smoothly u-turn on Moor Street Queensway, means it now takes less time to get from there onto the Stratford Road through Sparkbrook.

The 97 doesn't terminate on Moor Street, that's Carrs Lane.

The Stratford Road stop is a joke, people were moaning about it on Facebook about it being too overused.

If Corporation Street never closed to traffic in 2012 we would never have these constant issues and constant moving of buses in the City!

Amazing isn't it, how buses can travel down broad st. Lower bull st. Over a variety of track in the Black Country. But can't continue down corporation st... 

I do not necessarily mean there should be bus stops on corporation st, but it would certainly help to have them on places like navigation st. Hill st. Etc. too congested in the east side imo.

Its a valid point, would help congestion at bus stops round Moor Street queensway and priory queensway

Aswell as cut journey time travelling to/from/around the city centre while providing more links.
For example the 87 could go down corp st to colmore row (loop) and the 24 could do the opposite, through smallbrook Queensway then corporation st (loop)

How are you going to go down Corporation Street to Colmore Row ?

Lyon Queensway, swallow st, hill st, navigation st, or just hill st and navigation st.

Reroute the X15, to replace the X4 with a reduced frequency, and increase X14 frequency.
 
From erdington high st; Edward's rd, orphanage road, *current X15 route until Springfield rd while serving Asda* then carry on up till falcon lodge via crescent to end the route in Sutton.

Reroute the Diamond 64 via Gospel End and Wombourne before returning direct along Penn Road which would restore links lost due to Staffs CC cutbacks.

Withdraw 16 to Hamstead and make all NXWM 16 journeys terminate at Scott Arms and keep the Diamond 16A as it is

And make the Scott Arms terminus more busy than what it is...

Having lots of 16's there as well as the 28's would cause even more chaos than the mess it is already with them. Also there isn't a demand for the extension to be more frequent than every 20 minutes, plus the 16 gets snarled in enough traffic, having all of them get through Scott Arms would wreck the reliability completely.

Personally I would rather them send the 16 that serves Scott arms straight up the old walsall road, this would save journeys getting held up at the scott arms traffic lights

I'd renumber it if they did that to the 16B to save confusion having 2 16's doing different routes at Hamstead as well as having the 16A.

Or bring back the 46, should never of took that route off in the first place.

instead of 16B renumber 16A back to 16W

im also only suggesting this because i need the 16 to great barr as the 16 to hamstead does not pass where i get off, and this board is for fun. its just annoying to get one that goes to hamstead and then needing to walk up the rest of hamstead road because for some reason theres 4 16's that go to hamstead following eachother and 0 great barr ones.
