Well I voted against it I need that stop to Walk to Work from Aston Uni also my mate goes to Aston Uni so he voted against it to
And also when the tunnels get shut the X51 will only use it's old route to Aston Uni

The 51 stops at Aston Uni. The X51 is limited stop. Takes a few minutes to walk from town to Aston Uni. Why make it less limited?

Nothing on there about the X64 being rerouted?

I think the clue is in the phrase Black Country service changes.

no sunday 244 to QE?
No evenings either. The 99 was tendered, Evenings and Sundays wasn't it?
Maybe someone else will operate it?

Hopefully there will be tendered journeys, operated either by NX or someone else.

But either way, what a backward step for this route. Wasn't there a 15 min frequency at one stage, in the days of the 636/636S and 636/637?

The X64 changes are under the Birmingham changes section of the website. Bizarrely it is keeping the 'X' despite being nothing of the sort - journeys take up to an hour and 3 minutes to get to Bangham Pit.

Ah the 637. I remember catching that once to see my ex-girlfriend who lived in the area between the Tesco and Harborne Junction. A few weeks later we broke up. Needless to say that whenever I caught the 636/99 it was kinda awkward seeing her on the same bus.

Well I must say I'm quite pleased with the 120/120A changes. To be honest, I only really use the 120 to get to/from my parents' house on occasional Sundays, so it will be a bonus for me to now have a every 20min daytime service. And every 30mins continuing into Sunday evening.

And it looks like they've kept the arrival time at Colmore Row in a way that I can walk down to Moor Street Queensway and jump straight on the X2.
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 agree. Best thing to come out of these changes, always thought, if the 127/128 are half hourly Sunday evenings then the 120 should be the same

Just noticed, the Saturday timetable for the 244 is a timetable for the 241.
