The 23/24 will probably go back to serving Colmore Row only after December. Don't think NX are going to be that stupid to allow all those routes to serve Corporation Street; it's going to be a nightmare for buses to get out especially at peak times.
When I see it the stop outside New Street Station, it seems to be well used. Can see there being some people not being pleased with that, if that's the case and the 23/24 return to terminating at Colmore Row.
There's no room for any more services on the Corporation Street stop.

If they did return to looping the City Centre, they'd probably use Moor Street Queensway and Priory Queensway, i'd have thought rather than using the 23/24 stop.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

What about the stops on Albert Street? If NX are keeping the 23/24 route as it is and the 82/87 go back to their city centre loop could the 23/24 stop at Albert Street instead?

That would cause chaos with the parked cars on the other side of the road and our Sutton buses trying to get up Albert Street. It would get gridlocked with cars and buses stuck behind the 23/24 trying to get round, backing up onto Dale End and then blocking the road for traffic travelling up Albert Street

What if the 23/24 was curtailed to the old MegaBus terminus at Colmore Street Queensway? I believe they used to stop there and there is no issue with parked cars over there.

Sure fire way to lose passengers. Drop them off at at stop with no cross city connections and a 1/2mile walk to Priory Queensway!

The Sutton services don't use Broad St anyway?

2900 means the Square Peg, not the Figure of Eight - getting the Wetherspoons mixed up. Easily done.

Omnilinks on the 48 are not the most comfortable of buses for the route. Had one three times this week, and every time there has been standing. Furthermore a lot of elderly travel on the route between QE and bearwood anyway, and it seems more a safety hazard than anything for them

So a bus with more seats downstairs is unsafe for the elderly. You do post some complete rubbish

No, but you can give up your seats for the elderly like used to be standard practise

Yeah but when 75% of the bus is OAP then how can they give up their seats.

75% is OAP, so are you saying there were over 70 people on the scania? 49 seats + 25%?
As you post so much which is not true most of us don't actually believe anything.
