On that point I don't quite get the logic or removing Bromford residents links to the job centre ( not saying they all need it btw) or the direct links to the local Supermarkets ie Morrisons and Tesco. Surely that has got to be an indicator of lack of local knowledge surely?

They can always walk up Drews Lane and onto Washwood Heath Road. Takes 10-15 minutes tops from the last city bound stop on the X12/x70

Admittedly when I was growing used to walk from estate to hunter moon etc, but I just got get taking local links away which people must have been using to some degree.

What supermarkets? 72 out of city was fairly solid residential, all the local supermarkets are up by the Fox and Goose surely? Ergo my suggestion of a better version of the current 25

And the 11 will take you to Tesco, Aldi and Iceland at the Fox and Goose

The 25 is a 1 bus route with the same driver every trip & before the changes it wasn't always busy so an extra bus may not be feasible as it only runs for 6 hours a day @Keith . Though I could be wrong of course

and a bigger Tesco than the one at Castle Bromwich as well.

All direct links to local shopping areas taken away by nxbus is the point I was making.

Is there an up to date list of garages and which routes they operate following the East Birmingham Service changes. Have any garages lost or gained routes since the change? Sorry if it's already been asked/answered. Thanks in advance.

Interesting impressed by the x12 branding today, however X12 and X70 running together in Bromford a non peak hour time. Think it has been mentioned before the 71 display 70 @ the back still. (7033 I think it was).
