Why would the NXWM Managing Director speculate about this?
I think announcing it first to the Omnibus Society is very poor form

Seems odd the map doesn't show the red line as continuing to Acocks Green Village and it finishes at the depot. Maybe the map isn't 100% accurate on that I guess?

Also another question is as the red route isn't coming from Fox & Goose like the 11's all currently do, that'd mean it won't be able to serve the current stop in Erdington won't it, the one on Wood End Road? Which stop will it use in Erdington? As if you have a situation where some services towards Perry Barr use one stop and others use another, surely not very good, so i'm guessing both routes would have to serve the same stop.

What map are you referring to?

metrocity posted a map with a red route and blue route and then took it down.

Must have been told to remove it lol.

We'll just have to wait for the official announcement unless anybody screenshotted it.

See: https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/search/find-registered-local-bus-services/details/579562/

But it doesn't really reveal anything, other than a possible timetable change?

To be honest if such a major change was taking place at the beginning of July, I would have thought that it would have been announced publicly by now.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Yeah I knew this was pure speculation as of 11 got split up its basically useless and its going to stay the same. Just 2 different routes.

Maybe it's as simple as reducing full circle journeys and having lots of short e type journeys on core sections . Do like speculating when procrastinating at work.

The new timetable is now on NX's website

So essentially the A side will run Acocks Green to Perry Barr with the C side running Acocks Green to Erdington?

Tbh I didn't expect the off peak journeys to be broken up, as the route is fine during the evenings/late evening.

I expected significantly more E journeys but still a couple of full journeys every hour.

They should have given the East Birmingham route a different number 10 or 90 - to make it clear to passengers the new routes don't run beyond Perry Barr/Erdington
A & C aren't really needed now its no longer a circular route anymore surely.

To do this every bus stop flag would need changing. Not a modest amount of money !
