The stops in Solihull also display "73 Alum Rock".
Most would probably think it terminates on the Alum Rock Road, rather than at Heartlands if they read that.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

How come the 23 doesn't have announcements for part routes anymore? I remember there was a time when it did.
23 - Bartley Green
76 - Northfield
X20 - Birmingham Via Longbridge, Northfield & QE Hospital / University

All of the new announcements are getting there. Although the new 1 announcements are a little bit misleading as the Burton Rd Bishop Milner Stop has now been named Bishop Milner College not School. The stop on the announcements should be re done back to Bishop Milner School.

To my knologe it's always been known as a school not a college. So I'll have to disagree  with you there. I have just checked and you are right although the address still states its a school not a college. As I said it's alway going to be known as the school in my eye as that's all I've know it to be. Also does the stop falg say college?

Nice to see that. Is it still the same voice or have they used something else for it?

On some of the voices they have changed the voice but on others the same person is saying the stop names.

The 4H's only work up until Halesowen, they don't work round the Hayley Green loop. And the majority of them don't work. 1851, 1853, 1859, 1862, 1879, 1880 are the ones I know that don't work.
It'd be nice if they kept the same voice with the Black Country accent though.

How come the 4/H/M has announcements but routes that have Scanias as their main allocation such as the 17 and the 28 doesn't?
Also does the new 2/2A have the announcements carried over from the old 222?
