West Midlands Bus Area Map and Guides

[Bus Man K2]

That section seems to suggest the 229 goes down the 11/11A route to the Pie Factory, whereas it doesn't serve that section of Dudley Road.

Another thing, the WB5 on the map is coloured yellow to suggest route branding, which it hasn't had for a while now. If that had a yellow colour for it's branding though, surely routes like the 16, 74, 226 etc should have coloured lines on the map to match their route branding?

I'll let you know if I spot anything else that needs sorting on it.

Hi @DJ

Thanks for this...

I look forwrd to hearing from you if you find anything else!! 😁
,
I take your point about the 5, 16 & 74, howevere with the 226 as its not a NX route they will probably not add it as a branded route...As its NX who pay for the two publications that are currently produced.. Nx wanted the S&D map and Coventry map colour coded... I think with the other areas it would make it a litte bit confusing as some routes cross over into several area maps.

Just wondering has anybody else found any mistakes on the S&D map?

Yes, there is a problem with the 80.

It doesn't serve Wilkinson Avenue, and only serves Brierley Lane as far as Batmans Hill Road, where it does the loop round Weddell Wynd & Peter Avenue.

Hi @Pat thanks for that..

I don't understand the Wilkinson Avenue bit if what you're saying.. As it isn't mentioned on on Wilkinson Ave.. however the 53 is and that is correct... 😁

Ah sorry, missed that.  Yes, Wilkinson Ave is fine, it's just Brierley Lane that needs sorting

Yes, it's somewhat confusing having multiple different services shown as the same colour.

Only the 11/A use Trindle Road.

No, the 74, 87, 126 & 229 all use Castle Hill

Didn't the 74 used to?  As I did travel on it and it did do Trindle Road... So it's obviously changed again since I travelled on it!!! -

Don't think the 74 has changed in many years except for roadworks

Yes, the 74, 87, 126 & 229 were using Trindle Road temporarily due to roadworks, but are back to normal line of route.

I can safley say when I travelled on it it there wasn't any roadworks... So that's why I'm asking as it did do Trindle Road on journeys outbound to Birmingham..

It was strange then as you can probably see what I said to @Tony.

Recently, due to Castle Hill metro works, everything has been diverted.  The 74 has always gone up Castle Hill normally.

I've not been down Castle Hill for a while, so not sure if the works are still there?
