I asume it's a typo with the "New route 19" as I can't see how or why it'd terminate at the University.

Looks like all remaining links we have to Five Ways, Broad Street, Snow Hil etc will be gone then. Fantastic.

Seems strange timing for 38 new Platinum buses for the Harborne corridor when at least one of the 4 routes (22, 23 or 29) could be changing and requiring single deckers.

Some of the new Platinums can be used on the X70

Oh dear.
Any idea to send more buses through the QE is just stupid, especially "express" services
I'm sorry, the interchange there is not adequate, takes forever for buses to get through

The ammount of times Ive seen the 98 and X64 held up at the QE by inconsiderate parking, taxis etc. Kevin is right - DONT send an express route through there.

The X64 needs to loose the 'X' and 'Limited Stop', its ironic the X64 says 'Limited Stop' and the X61 does not.

I also don't see how making the 47 limited stop is going to work as the route will take a lot more time from the Turves Green area into Birmingham.

Making it limited stop? I don't see anything about making it limited stop. All I see, is that they're proposing:
A single frequent (every 6/7 minutes) 45 down the Pershore Road, with the 47 being rerouted to serve the QE and University.

Page 19 under Cotteridge, Kings Norton and Hawkesley it says it will likely be limited stop from QE to city.

All very quiet on the South Birmingham consultation front. The revised consultation documents stated that the earliest any changes would happen would be the end of Feb 2018 but that clearly isn't going to be the case now.

The new Platinums for the Harborne corridor are still no nearer to being branded or having next stop announcements so I wonder if that's being held back pending confirmation of the outcomes of the review?

Lots of changes in April on the registration site

It's just Easter holiday timetables, that's all.

This South Birmingham review seems to have disappeared up its own backside.

So has the Dudley one to be fair and that waa consulted beforehand.

Don't worry, it will be back soon enough...
