East Birmingham Sevice Changes - 4th June 2017

Could this mean that:

66 City-Erdington only
60E City-Swan to run with current 60 service

[2206]

Could this mean that:

66 City-Erdington only
60E City-Swan to run with current 60 service

66 will be,
City Centre - Sutton Coldfield.

[John]

Maybe the 96?

I wonder if the 96 will still replace the 66 between Kingstanding and Erdington what was mentioned in the consultation . If so I imagine we will run it. So we might not have all of the changes yet

[Steve3229vp]

66 will be,
City Centre - Sutton Coldfield.

15A and 15C gone as well then

[monkeyjoe]

So the x72 had an element of truth as the x 12 not read it all yet

[monkeyjoe]

If Hodge Hill got a limited stop service I would actually start using the bus again, but I doubt would stop at Ventor Ave.

[Trident 4194]

Have more mmc platinums been ordered then? When they due?

[MW]

Monkeyjoe, this must be a dream come true for you, no? Platinums on this new X12. And also Platinums on the 94 on Sundays. I'm sure you'll find something to complain about though.

I don't complain I make observations, resource been thrown at the ex Lea Hall patch finally I'm pleased.

There are already 10 at AG for the X12

[monkeyjoe]

I'm wondering if this x12 will go via shard end after the Bromford to pick up the 55a bit but how that will be express is beyond me unless it might use the heartlands between wash wood heath and nechells

We're all just going to have to wait for the official publicity to be released, as all anyone can do at present is just speculate.

[monkeyjoe]

i'm well aware of that, however creates conversation on the forum.

[Steve3229vp]

My predictions for some of these changes are:

X12 from City running express to Drews Lane, then as 72 to Castle Bromwich, then as 966 to Solihull (this covers both 72 and 966 from Arran Way to Pine Square as both routes are virtually the same).
96 as route 66 from Kingstanding to Erdington, then as 966 to Castle Bromwich, then as 56 to York's Wood, then as 55A to Pine Square.
X70 from City, then EITHER express via route 70 but not serving Parkfield Estate (covered by X12), OR express via Star City, The Fort, Collector Road to Parkfield Drive then as route 70.

Not really sure that the 96 should/ would cover yorks wood no direct link to city which has been in place since ??

X70 do you think it was miss out the bulk of passengers i.e. Wash wood corridor unless it's a few limited peak hour journeys.
