It'd seem so with stop MS21 and MS22 being on it.

I am very relieved that the 907/33/934-7 won't be going via the Law Courts again, that used be terrible and very time consuming and would leave the bus lane under Lancaster Circus not used and redundant. I would of preferred the 907 staying where it is but I'm fairly satisfied with this.

Does TFWM even know their own changes that they made? Showing that the 2,3,4,4A,5 and 6 are all moving to MS3, when it's 2,3 moving to MS3 only, and 4/4A to MS5

When will the X3, X4, X5, X14 & X15 revert back to their original stop PQ3 from the temporary stop CS1?

PQ11 and CS1 are probably the permanent stops now.

Personally doubt they will be moved back there. Most likely stay where they've been for 3 years, or only place I would see them move too is the current Lichfield Road stop across the road as that has a bigger bay and to do the current route that Perry Barr services use.

I don't see why services from the South West of Birmingham (23 & 24) use PQ3 when services from the North East of Birmingham (X3,X4,X5 etc.) can only just reach the edge of the city centre (CS1). I suppose it is better than the Colmore Circus terminus (102,103,104).

The X3/X4/X5 etc stop at PQ11 on inbound journeys to unload, hardly the "edge of the city centre".

It's certainly not as convenient as MS13 & PQ3.

PQ11 is literally around the corner from MS13, PQ3 is a few minute walk up the hill. 

How much more convenient do you want it to be? The current arrangements for the Sutton services works better in regards of reliability and getting in and out of the City. 

The 23/24 have been stopping outside the Square Peg for ages now and that's before they was last put there again, they served it for a few years before it was closed in 2021.

Quote from: ellspurs on November 24, 2024, 07:27:08 PMThey are just renumbering them? Same with the a10 when they get around to it.
Are they definitely changing the A9 number?
