71/72 are my favourites routes in my local area
NXWM managed to upgrade them for E200MMC's and for 71 (Claribels and Sunny Travel) operate extra services :)


for thread too - any opinions on BC70 route (Solihull-Birmingham)
The 70 is a rather nice route between The Fox And Goose and Chelmsley Wood through the middle of the countreyside in Coleshill and Water Ortorn

Personally I'm surprised the 70 hasn't seen newer buses this year, after all it is competing with the 71 and 72 against sunny and claribels.

You're talking to a guy who hates them so much he lets them go if ever they creep onto the 11... Send them all to Dundee I say  ;D

It's on the Washwood Heath ex Lea Hall corridor, low priority lol

I find the 966 route quite interesting, after breaking off Lode lane, it goes through a nice neighbourhood area before being put through its paces through the airport highway, I'm not familiar with the route after Chelmsley Wood although I would imagine its a dream to drive in a Gemini.

The 71/2 also look interesting although I find it somewhat peculiar they interwork although taking their frequencies into account, I can see why

The 71 is a very nice route and interesting nice especaly after Hodge Hill/Clock Garage.
The 71 and 72 do not interwork @GeminiFan1991
As I said I am not keen on the 72
