Service 97 will depart from Moor Street Queensway from 23rd July 2023.

Very interesting. So Lower Bull St will become a bus route again, now over the tram tracks. They'll have to hurry up as there's a big hole at the bottom of the street at the High Street junction.

Glad the 97 is moving back to Moor Street, not a fan of the current stop location.
Your new favourite 61/63 late night driver 😂

Would've thought they'd kept the Walsall Road services together for convenice?

Certainly as regards the 51 / X51 !

That's what I thought, why couldn't they put the 907 with the 934 etc

Possibly because the 907 serves One Stop as per the 33/51?

Which side of square peg are they stopping? There's bus stops either side?

The map suggests Moor Street Queensway, Carrs Lane, Lower Bull Street, Square Peg, leaving the City at Corporation Street if you select 23rd July on the NX timetables. So stopping on the same side the pub is on.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

The funny thing is they erected bus shelters and kerbs opposite the Square Peg some time ago on the inbound direction but I can't see these are being used.

Steve3229vp

I can't understand why they didn't put the 45/47 on Carrs Lane and the 934 etc at The Square Peg and just leave the 31,51 and X51 on High Street

They will probably end up changing pretty soon afterwards

I'd think that they would return the sutton services back to the square peg after so long and use them somewhere around there possibly on the opposite stops?

Yes, not the best! I'm guessing it'll be sharing the stop with the 60/17?

I have feeling it's going back to where it originally stopped where the 45/47 currently stop.
