Certainly not meant as a criticism,but what is the difference between a 9xx route and an Xxx route?
Given the proposed future changes to the 9xx Streetly group,would it not be more logical and consistent to renumber the routes as X34/X35/X36/X37 etc as with the X51 especially given the mythical public aversion to the use of three digit numbers.
The 900/957 would become the X1/X2 and the X96 would also fit in easily.
Can someone otherwise explain the (if any) subtle difference between the X and the 9 series.

'X' is limited stop along the whole/part of the route
'9**' is express (not stopping) service, which means only part of the route is express, in this case between Birmingham and Perry Barr

@Bob it used to be part limited stop but now it's all stops

I am actually correct, I just couldn't be bothered to be pedantic and mention the X96 as an exception
