East Birmingham Sevice Changes - 4th June 2017

[Brummie45]

There are a lot of people saying that they have heard that the 55 is to be rerouted down Cooks Lane and Chelmsley Road. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not ?

Noticed most buses on the X12/X70 since they started enter the City Centre via Heartland Parkway and Necells Parkway then leave via the Aston Expressway and Tyburn Road, is this the route they're supposed to  use when there are no traffic problems @Tony .

How funny nxbus marketing team are posting leaflets through people's door saying the x12 goes via Coleshill.

The same retards who proof read the NX website presumably. The degree of incompetence is staggering.

I keep forgetting to thank them for 'improving' the NEC/BHX - Chelmsley Wood corridor from 'just' 4 buses an hour to three...

In their defence it was funded before. See I can be balanced when it comes to nxbus in the east lol.

Don't start him off, then he will start going on about the East with no 'new' buses again!

What I have noticed on a lot of bus flags on the X12 from Green Lane to Chelmsley Interchange still have the 966 on them in both directions. Unless I am missing something here I thought the X12 took over from the 966  ???  ;D.

The new route the X12 now takes from missing out Beechdale Road and the others, seems a lot better and quicker too meaning the X12 now turns right into Green Lane instead of left when it was the 966.

I think one of them independents is still running the 966. DTS which is basically Social Travel part 2.

Yes you are correct, Discount Travel Solutions are still operating the 966.

I only speak observations so if they are relevant I will raise them as often as I like. ;)

So it seems that the new X70 is being altered again already. Thoughts?
