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

[Pat]

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

You can have multiple databases stored on a computer for Helen.  It's just a case of uploading the right file to the bus when they're changed back to the originals.

You're right, topic merged.

You're right, topic merged.

Sorry I forgot I had asked this earlier. I know there has been some new additions and that's why I asked again.

e. g

Cov 3, 8/A, 14/14A, 17/A 18/A, 20B, 20C, 85/A/B*
B'ham 27.

I dont know any more. Plus since Covid has hit the company's have made changes to just show one via point on it, and most of the docs I've got still show more then onw via point. Yep I know I could ask NX through FOI but as Tony has said they posibly wouldn't comply if there was a doc available.

Lastly as well all the photos that are on the WBM Photos website are good but some are up to date and others aren't so I'd rather post here. If I ask it over and over again I'm sorry but there are areas that are still missing.

You cannot ask NX through a FOI as they are a private company and FOI do not apply to private companys

Does the X12 still use "Airport, then Solihull/Birmingham"? I've seen that on the blinds a number of times in Chelmsley, but not been out that much recently to see it.

@Bus Man K2  Cov 20 says "Coventry/Nuneaton/Bedworth via Foleshill Road", 20B has either Longford or Bayton Road as its destination (via Foleshill Road), and the 85/A/B just say "Coventry/Rugby" with no via field.

Thanks for this. What about the other services I mentioned or don't you know. Doesn't matter if you dont know, just wondered?

What about the X1 as well.

Any other areas? or Coventry routes that you know of?

Also as I have already mentioned in the past the blinds are done by an outside contractor and no-one at NX has access to the database. It is updated on request by NX, but the whole database is not available to NX

Well that a little silly the. Can ai ask why FOI's don't apply for private companies?

[Gareth]

Yep I know I could ask NX through FOI

Whilst I don't fault anybody with a thirst for knowledge, no matter how geeky or niche it may be, everybody has better things to do than request and indeed answer FOI for destination blind via points.

Do what I did as a kid, stand in town and watch the buses drive past!

[Bus Man K2]

The ones I know not mentioned in the list above are:
55 - Birmingham/Chelmsley Wood via Ward End.
94 - Birmingham/Chelmsley Wood via Ward End.
28 - Great Barr/Heartlands Hospital/Small Heath via Erdington.
14 - Birmingham/Chelmsley Wood via Alum Rock.
X70 - Birmingham/Chelmsley Wood via Coleshill.
60 - Birmingham/Cranes Park via Coventry Road.
X20/X21/X22 - Birmingham/Cofton Hackett/Woodcock Hill/Woodgate via University.
65 - Birmingham/Perry Common via Slade Road.
67 - Birmingham/Castle Vale via Tyburn Road.
25 - Birmingham/QE Hospital via Ladywood.

The 27 recently changed to operate to Longbridge. so the 27 in the post you have quoted is now incorrect.

[Gareth]

private companies

That's your answer!

I would do normally but under the current circumstances I'm not going
to do that for a long time yet!
