Even though there have been a large number of double deckers delivered in recent years, in my opinion there are still too many single deckers. It's no laughing matter when you're standing on single decker on the way home when I'm normally sitting on a double decker !

Amen to that!

Rumours are the 14 is going SD

I'd be very surprised if it did considering how busy it is and the fact single deckers are longer which makes maneuverability even harder on the tight Alum Rock Rd.

There is a possibilty of it being diverted straight down Duddeston Mill Road under the low bridge. If it does then it will have to be single deck

If Saltley viaduct is closed would that also mean the 94 would also have to go Single Deck, as that also uses Saltley Viaduct?

Can't the 14 from Saltley, use the Washwood Heath Road and then go down Aston Church Road as well?

Why use such a long diversion when Duddeston Mill Road means no additonal time

How would the inner circle be diverted? The same as the 14 to/from Ash Road & would it take the 14 route Clock & Anti Clock from the Spine Road Island or Use Melvina Road like the 26 did years ago & then Duddeston Mill Road to Ash Road & vice versa @Tony

I like the shade of the new darker blue, but it doesn't go with the lighter blue. The gold stripe looks wrong with the blue too. My biggest issue is the fleetnames. They just don't stand out and in some lights, even unreadable.

Nice looking livery but not sure whether that's emerald green or Shrek green.
