And probably the only successful busy service they operate in the West Midlands

The fact that it serves Tamworth is a handy bonus for Arriva, being a sapphire route may compel NX to further upgrade their buses on route perhaps ?

I guess depending on percentage growth levels experienced, assuming it doesn't plateau, the 110 could have further Sapphire StreetLites moved onto it from 1/2? I reckon speeding up peak journeys could earn them custom as well

Don't see how you could speed up journey times unless you cut out part of the route, then you're missing the very people you're trying to attract.

What an upgrade lol. Seriously though the sapphire conversion & completely screwing the routes up and changing them back and the reduced frequency etc have made the 1 & 2 conversions a failure...Wonder if it happened to any other sapphire routes nationwide?  One of the purposes was to grow the routes and increase ridership.  What they did to the 1 & 2 really, really achieved that. Lmfao

Effectively the 002 but we know how the express and star are never fully spot on
