- Hagley Road, Manor Road

Hagley Road, Francis Road as well for passengers who want the top end of Broad Street/Five Ways

[karl724223]

Colmore row all stops to five ways
First stop Hagley road after five ways under pass
Ivy bush
Portland road
Gillett road
Sandon road
Bearwood after lights
Wolverhampton road
Jeffersons
Quinton

Personally, I think from Birmingham city centre, it will serve all stops as far as Five Ways, Francis Road, from there it should go limited stop along the Hagley Road.
Somewhat akin to the 900/957 between Hay Mills and Yardley, where it serves alternate stops.

Personally...
- All stops on Broad Street
- Bearwood
- Wolverhampton Road
- Quinton (Toby carvery whatever that stop is actually called)
- Quinton Church
- Quinton Long Lane
- Halesowen
...Then all stops.
Really doubt it'd be that good an express route though, will probably just end up being a half arsed affair like the 900/957 between Hay Mills and Sheldon

The real big advantage of the 900 and 957 though is that stretch along Small Heath Highway, but then again any advantage is lost if the traffic is bad. But on a good day, like this evening, I did get from Bordesley Station to Swan Island in 9 minutes!  :D

On I'm not fully knowledgeable on that side of the City but as long at it stays "limited" stop then good. The X51 after city stops somewhere after Perry Barr so as it follows a similar set up, ideally after Bearwood and take advantage of any highways.

You see, now this is where it confuses me - has it been confirmed that it'll follow more or less the same route as the 141?

I wasn't sure if, after Quinton Lane Island (AKA Toby Carvery ;) ), if the route would go on to use the Quinton Expressway. ???

Maybe it could use Quinton Expessway and Manor Way.

Like the old 19 or 919 they didn't work why will this?

[GeminiFan1991]

Is the limited stop strictly between Birmingham - Quinton or will it apply to the whole route ?

X51 works, why won't this? Times change

It will work because it will no doubt use upgraded buses and is a like for like replacement of an existing route, just with a few less stops. Whether it will knock much time off journeys in rush hour remains to be seen. The X51 is an Express route that uses the underpasses and flyovers and has genuine limited stopping. Limited stopping across a section of road that can be a slow crawl into and out of town during peaks might not bring the same benefits.
