Will the frequency of the 7, 8, 9 & 10 be increased then?

Is Green Lane going to be left without a service then?

Let's hope the times of the extended 9 between Bloxwich & Wednesfield coincide with my sister's shifts then, especially the Sunday ones!

The Green Lane that the 10A currently serves, sorry, should've made that clearer

If they are looking to make cuts as well, i'm surprised they never scrapped the 25, as I saw a platinum earlier this week leaving City Centre completely empty, just like it used to be pre covid.
The thing is because it's a contract, the service will run, albeit with minute passengers number, until whoever funds it pulls the plug.

Is the 25 (25 (25 (25))) funded by TfWM or a third party?

TFWM funded service probably as it used to be the 10H.
The double decker platinums its allocated are excessively large for the route, given how empty it is as well.

A lot of the places it goes have other high frequency services as well Ladywood have 80, Hagley Road the 9, Harborne Road 23/24, QE/University the X21/X22. If it went the majority wouldn't even notice probably.
Monument Road has 80 and Hagley Road routes at each end and you could always extend say 5 AG 1 journeys up the road from where they currently terminate if it needs something else.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

The service uses only one vehicle. Also as it enters the city centre, it needs a Euro6 vehicle, so by using a 'spare' Platinum during the off-peak, it is probably being run as cost-efficiently as it can with the most fuel-efficient vehicles that BC has.

It would of course be up to TfWM to decide if the route needs changing, or whether to stop supporting it.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

There's no green lane on the 10A route I'm aware of. If you're referring to coppice road in Walsall wood probably won't be served.
