Eastside extension

[Gareth]

Priory Queensway is chokka as it is. No room for anything else.

[2206]

New stopping locations for NX services can be found on traveline WM.

What it seems to be saying is:

Stratford Road 2/3/5/6 stopping at the current Coventry Road stop outside Primark.
33/51/X51 are stopping at the High Street stop outside Boots.
907/934/935/936/937/997 will stop at Dale End.
60/X1/X2/17 using current 97 stop outside Moor Street Station.
97 stopping on Albert Street.
X3/X4/X5/X14 will stop on Priory Queensway (current 65/67 stop).
65/66/67 moving to the other side of the road (current 45/47 stop).
45/47 no longer serving Priory Queensway.

23/24 will also be stopping on the stop at the very bottom of Moor Street Queensway, which I don't think has beeen in use for some time.

Would it not make sense just to have one stop for the Stratford Road services as well? Why do they need 2 stops directly opposite each other MS4 & MS16? I don't think the X1/X2 serve both?

Sounds like when they had the 98/99 serving stops on both sides of Priory Queensway oddly.

No, I responded to someone who had already posted about stop changes. When they tried to continue that discussion, that's when I asked for it to be continued in a more appropriate topic.

Lower Bull Street has now been tarmac'd over. So that will have to be dug up again at some point when the rails are ready to be laid.

I heard rumours from business owners in the Custard factory that the council have lost the funding for the Digbeth extension, not sure I believe it

I don't believe it either, as I understand this is all being funded by the WMCA, not by Birmingham City Council.

So why are there lots of men in Hi-Vis Metro Alliance kit working on Digbeth?

They were claiming the original plan has been curtailed and they are just tidying up the roads and pavements now.

The works are on pause during the games so they are making sure the pavements are clear and tidy and once games have finished work recommences

dwhy didn't they just put the rails down & tarmac it or will they just sink the rails into the tarmac  to save money on digging it up again

[Ginger66]

Remember how they did the temp tarmac at corporation street/new street to facilitate pride parade the other year. 

MMA are doing the same for the commonwealth games so lower bull street can be opened up to the public for the duration of the games.
