Updated to include full list, Winston

[Trident 4609]

Alot of the registrations that say 'To Amend Route and Timetable' end up turning out to be just timetable amendments. For example the registration put through for Wolverhampton's 32/33 for 10th April
Turned out to be just timetable changes, no route change.

@Adam 404 It was inevitable. I saw this coming tbh.

I think this might be the main thing that people will want to be made aware of...

Possibly be the date of the Dudley Bus Review then?

Personally doubt it.

[Stuharris 6360]

Personally doubt it.

Well 297 is withdrawn, 246 is having route and timetable changes, so I suspect it will be.

[Dom]

Yea but the 297 has looked like its been going for ages, the 246 may well (like most)  be the timetable changes. Just because 2 routes are mentioned means nothing.

[TinnedPeaches]

That's a worry about the 297 going, although it doesn't surprise me. That'll leave a lot of people where I live unable to get to the hospital or the Merry Hill Centre by bus (places that are easy to get to by car - 10 to 15 minutes away). I know a fair few elderly folk who'll feel rather stranded by that - hopefully another route will be amended to compensate.

[Eric Shaw]

Some of the changes to Birmingham routes could be to do with the starting of the trams running to Grand Central.

Will nx ever bring the 1 back into city centre even by another route?

[2206]

Will nx ever bring the 1 back into city centre even by another route?

That would be a good idea a lot of passengers who get off the 1 at Five Ways then get on one of the 2* routes into the City Centre. Maybe it could follow the same route as the 22? Maybe it would get more people to use it? Some of the buses i've seen on there can be quite empty at times.

Maybe when Paradise Forum is finished put it back to the town hall as it used to or for now extend it too Livery Street if its feasible of course

The works will mean the only road to "serve" Town Hall, if you will, will be Hill Street - after completion in 2025, so it claims. The former 1 terminus will be replaced by One & Two Chamberlain Square, as well as 'Congreve Square' - an outdoor space. (The works are essentially replacing the Gyratory system, in favour of the two-way system.)

http://www.paradisebirmingham.co.uk/the-vision/ - There are illustrations to show what I mean.

Even after completion, i'm sure there were plans for Midland Metro to extend to Centenary Square, from New Street? ???

Found this if you go to the map of line 1 it says that it's its due to be extended to Centenary Square in 2017 and extended to Edgbaston after 2017
