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 ?
Current Local Routes 53,94,96 and X12. Nearby routes 55,70,71,71A,99 and X70.

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 .
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

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.
