From June 4th.
The 45 will be amended to operate along All Saints Way in both directions and will no longer serve Hallam Street. Frequency reduced to every 20 minutes.
The 46 will be amended to serve the stops outside New Square on Cronehill Linkway in both directions.
The 40 will be amended to serve Hallam Street.

I wonder if the 46 will be reduced to every 20 minutes too. Funny to think the 406(H) was once every 10 minutes

"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89

No changes to the 46 frequency according to the NXWM changes sheet.

The 45 and 46 are both already every 20 minutes each on Saturdays

Already, I've spotted 1937 displaying "120 Birmingham" while going outbound! Surely some confused passengers expecting to go to Dudley on board! ???

@filbus1 that will happen most weeknights mate. A Oldbury rota driver told me that's one of the boards off the 120A goes on to the 127/128 late night.

I suppose that makes sense. Do you know if this will happen Sunday's as well?

My friend just got back to me, he say the 120A board he has on Sunday didn't go onto the 127/8

Popped over to my parents house yesterday, so had a chance to get the 120A.

While on 1951 I couldn't help but notice it still has a poster up behind the drivers cab for House Of Play in Acocks Green. Its been nearly two years since these transferred, you'd think they'd replace the posters with something more relevant to the local area!  :D

Still, it was a little nostalgic to be back on a bus that I would have previously regularly travelled on, though to be honest, I really don't miss them!
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley

Wouldn't worry about them changing that I swear there's one PB Omnilink that's still got either that same poster or a similar  one

Just watched the video of the chav dad shouting at an old lady on the 80 yesterday "oh dear". Fair play to the driver.

That's what a life on benefits does to people. No respect for anyone apart from their ratty kids.

From my observation they have complete disrespect for their children too, swearing at and smoking over them, and yelling at them in public.

Don't you start.

A lot of the WB E200s that were left plain now have the gold ticket branding. 831 being one of them.
