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

This also say it's due to open in 2017

Been meaning to edit it. :P But yeah, my original point still stands.

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

Looking at Vosa, Central Buses have registered on the 297 from the 30th May.

To be honest, I'd have thought something like this would have been done sooner, like ready for when it opened last year! It's a bit of a walk from the train station to get there without a car, so perhaps comments have been raised regarding the lack of direct public transport access.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

I was thinking this would only have been for the 97A as opposed to the normal 97 & the 97S

The 3 varients are on the same registration, so will appear on the registration, regardless of which variation changes.

Could have done with that Saturday night!

Don't know for sure but maybe turn right from Romsley Road to go straight to the turnaround...?

I suppose it was inevitable that the 1 would be reduced on a Sunday to half-hourly. Only two buses needed all day now, running costs reduced by a third (approx!).

Doesn't bother me now, as I don't use the service any more. Shall I start a petition anyway?  ;)
