Service Changes August 29th 2021.

It's really concerning the fact it's 20 days until the changes and no timetables or service changes announced?

I was thinking that as well, considering these are big changes it would be a help if they were published with timetables to allow passengers to plan. If they want passengers to be back to pre-Covid numbers and gain others which is the objective long term they need to publish these changes and timetables as soon as possible.

Any updates today?

Looks like the 41 (towards Acocks Green) after Springfield Road will turn left onto Stratford Road, right onto Formans Road, left onto Reddings Lane, right onto Olton Boulevard East and continue up to Spring Road station where it'll join its current line of route. Exactly the same as the current 36 then.

Junction between Formans Road turning left onto Stratford Road can be quite tight with the adjacent traffic waiting in the filter lane, so that'll be interesting.

Looking at the 46 from QE, it looks like the 41's arrive at QE 5 mins before the 46 departs.

Certainly does look like they'll be interworking.

Still awaiting official confirmation.

96 after Smiths Wood is serving Timberley Lane, Brownfield Road, Heathway, Brookmeadow Road, Buckland End and Heathland Avenue to Castle Bromwich then as normal to Warren Farm Road a complicated route via Kingstanding Road and Old Oscott

X12 and X13 both every 30 minutes on Saturdays (combined every 15 minutes)

Shame the 96 isn't serving shard end crescent

[Steve3229vp]

4A extended to Solihull replacing 31

48 serving Gibbins Road to Weoley Castle, then as normal to Northfield

67 extended via Farnborough Road to Farnborough School replacing 38

X4 terminating at Falcon Lodge

Clearly mirrors the 53. What is the future for that route? Will it be going?

No new timetable on there for X21/X22 yet as well.

[Jack D]

It doesn't mirror 53, it goes straight down brownfield not turning left into old Croft lane

Didn't notice that, I was looking at Brook Meadow Road, etc. Though its only a minor difference, so still makes you wonder if the 53 is going or being cut back

Looking quite likely the 20 and extended 27 will interwork in Cofton Hackett from the timetables

[Jack D]

96 should go left onto old Croft lane, would see more footfall if you served shard end shops
