X21 back to single decks today  :-[

Very poor show.

Very poor show.

But isn't the x21 replacing parts of the x64 which was single deck operated previously?

And parts of the 29. Not to mention the Vale which means covering parts of the 98 too.

I notice the X20 isn't stopping at Orphopeadic Hospital.
Bad move in my opinion. Lots of people use that stop for the hospital and for White Hill Lane.

If I recall correctly, the same thing happened with the X62 initially - the Orthopaedic Hospital stop was reinstated within a couple of months.

Yes and look how the X64 coped with singles at peaks. That and they are just plain vile buses anyway, hardly fitting of a service aligned with Platinum routes. I'm also sure Tony said they would be moving onto other BC routes after yesterday?

Yeah the spares maybe. I expect the X21 to be fully operated by overcrowded B7RLEs.

Hmmm Well as I say, poor show.

I'm actually surprised the X20/22 don't stop at the Vale at least, seeing as they'd go past in both directions

They only go past in one direction; outbound.

The Vale? Thought they went Edgbaston Park Road and Wellington Road into town?

[MasterPlan]

That's the X21. The others take a first right onto Edgebaston Park Road towards the Bristol Road.

[MasterPlan]

I wonder how much grief drivers around the city are getting today...

Interesting, that's changed from the original route already

Anyway, another note, yesterday saw 4As going to Robin Hood Island, quick check on the timetable shows that evening on Sundays that stretch gets a better service than the rest of the week, is it just so that buses aren't laying over somewhere they can be targeted?

Has it? I was under the impression that was always the case. It was according to the maps provided by NX anyway.
