Document or information on all destination and via points on bus blinds

[Bus Man K2]

The only ones I can help you with at present:

2 (YW) Birmingham / Maypole - via Stoney Lane
3 (YW) Birmingham / Yardley Wood - via Stoney Lane
4 (AG) Birmingham / Solihull Station - via Acocks Green
4A (AG) Birmingham / Gospel Oak - via Acocks Green
5 (AG) Birmingham / Solihull - via Shirley
6 (YW) Birmingham / Solihull - via Stratford Road (some still showing Shirley)
8A (BY) Inner Circle - Anti-Clockwise
8C (BY) Inner Circle - Clockwise
11A (AG) Outer Circle - Anti-clockwise
11C (AG) Outer Circle - Clockwise
27 (YW) Maypole / Harborne - via Kings Heath
50 (YW) Birmingham / Druids Heath - via Moseley & Kings Heath
76 (YW) Solihull Station / QE Hospital - via Kings Heath

These are all the services I've either seen or travelled on in the last three months

(I can't wait to be able to get out a bit more again!)

But personally I can't see the point of what you are trying to achieve to be honest.

For the 4A EVE  and Sun jrnys do they show up anything different on the front blind?

This goes for any of the other Eve and Sun or even Peak hours or also the jrny that terminate at JLR Solihull plant or serve the plant?

Thanks for these.

I only needed the main routes anyway.

I suppose I could however the pics could be outdated by updated to the blinds. I don't know how long it takes people to upload a photo to a website (especially if they are working into the night). which could mean that they don't update it until a couple of days or even week after they have taking the photo.

Flickr has a facility where you can choose to see photos from particular dates.  Also, Tony's main site shows the date the photos were taken.
Also, the 'West Midlands Transport' Facebook page is another good place, as there are lots of photos from both enthusiasts and staff members.

That's what I'm saying though. Say you have taken a photo today but haven't had chance to up load it to whatever website you normally upload it to. By the time you've uploaded it (which could be a few days or week) later the blinds may have changed. This is if Tony is correct in saying they change regularly. Not saying he should or should know. however if that's correct and your photo apears on a website a couple of weeks later that info  on the photo could/would be out of date.

What are the via points on the routes at WN?

Flickr shows the date taken, regardless of when it was uploaded.  From what i've seen, the via points have stayed the same since the new static displays were introduced, so I don't think you'd have too much of a problem getting accurate information.

I don't think that is correct. Some of them are changed occasionally.
94, 11A, 11C, 6, 8A and 8C have all changed over the past few months.

So they don't always remain the same.

In Wolverhampton they have remained the same, hence why I said "From what I've seen."

The current ones are only temporary anyway. They have been done with just one via point to be able to get the social distancing messages in, so will all be changing again soon, so any database is pretty pointless right now

I'm on about before the lockdown.  The destinations and via points have remained the same since the static displays were introduced 2-3 years ago.

They've had only the one via point for at least a year on most services anyway. The odd route still has 2 I think such as the 73.
And even now they don't display any sort of message with it?

[Tony]

And even now they don't display any sort of message with it?

Probably because you haven't seen a full bus!

[2206]

Probably because you haven't seen a full bus!

Why does that mean they can't display more than one via point when they are empty though?

[Tony]

Why does that mean they can't display more than one via point when they are empty though?

A whole new database had to be created in 24 hours to include the bus full option on every route.

Won't the database have to be changed  back to the old one when everything goes back to 'normal'? If it ever does!!!
