Trivial But Unique (inspired by The Bus Forum)

The 17 and the 60 are under half an hour to Tile Cross and Cranes Park respectively.

And 25 City Centre - QE Hospital via Ladywood is fairly short as well
And also takes a different route outbound to the route it takes inbound at both ends of the route.

25 is also the only route from Birmingham City Centre that doesn't cross the Outer Circle at any point I think.
As well as probably being NXWM's quietest Birmingham route.

82 to Bearwood.
101 to Handsworth Wood.

Those two possibly just from an eyeballing of a map of Birmingham.

Yeah it's interesting how much shorter the 82 is than the 87.

According to the timetable and google maps, it's a circular so I'm not sure it would be shortest under those circumstances.

Its a very weird route, I think. With a big loop at the QE end and another big loop at the City Centre end with the bit in the middle through Ladywood and down to the Green Man being the same way in both directions (Other than for the one way roads).
And the destination display for the service says QE Hospital via Ladywood.

So not a proper circular route like A7/A8, 11A/11C, 8A/8C.

65 to perry common is a short route

The 22 Wednesbury & Tipton circular is another one that's pretty short, and I'd add the revised Kinver 242 to the list, too.

Halesowen is the only main bus station to not have a train or tram station.

Dudley station dosent have either of those

[DJ]

It depends on how you define that, if it's within the town, then Dudley Port might just count. If it has to be a feasible interchange though, rather than being a bus ride or long walk away, then yeah, Dudley and Halesowen don't, nor does Merry Hill, and possibly even Coventry.

Merry Hill will get off that list when the Metro goes there soon.

It still won't have a railway station. It will have a tram stop

Yes, which counts, as we're on about a 'train or tram station'.

Merry Hill will get off that list when the Metro goes there soon.

Dudley too, unless you count the road train at the zoo.  ;D

Darlaston?

Wednesbury? (hardly a link between the tram and bus station here)

If you're saying Wednesbury doesn't then neither does Wolverhampton.

Wednesbury Great Western Street is closer to Wednesbury Bus Station than either St Georges or the railway station.

Wednesbury Great Western Street is closer to Wednesbury Bus Station than either St Georges or the railway station.

Wolverhampton rail station is about 150m via a dedicated walkway.

Wednesbury Great Western Street is about 300m across a main round and down a grubby side street
