Random thought, over the last five there been a lot of change across the West Midlands. Including newly created hi freq corridors, be it deviations from old routes. Are there any that standout as being particularly successful in peoples opinions I.e x12/x13 / , x8/8  , x21/x22. Just curious ?

PB2938

WA 934 935 937 Birmingham  - Kingstanding link has become successful today 2021 compared to 2002 when services was dramatically reduced 996 997.
952A Rugeley

Didn't think of that one, I thought always had the 998

You could argue the X21/X22 corridor hasn't been that successful given that the X20 was withdrawn.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Still more successful than 636 in 2010/2011 though presumably when it used B6LE.
As 2 full deckers went straight past the stop Friday as they were to full and all the other journeys I saw that day had full deckers to.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

It started life as the 44 run by Central Coachways using Leyland Nationals

That's because the frequency is lower during the afternoon peak than it was with all 3 routes.
