I have been notified of a change on the Solihull area map, seems there is also going to be a 631 service now between Solihull and Acocks Green, replacing some other parts of the withdrawn A15 service.

TfWM website hasn't been updated though.

What about the other route that was proposed to go from Acocks green to the airport?

I believe that was only ever an 'alternative' specification, and it looks like that wasn't taken up.

Here's some information for the Jan25 timetable changes, cba to do more :)

96 changes
Interesting to see the 96 is loosing 2430 from Kingstanding and 2430 from airport and is no long serving the business park. It's also gaining an extra trip in the morning on the Sunday (0540 from Kingstanding, 0620 from Airport).

According to Google Maps and TfWM timetables:
PQ1 - 934/935/936/937/937A
PQ2 - 51/X51/907/907A
with those buses stopping at new stops along the tram tracks

45/47/97/97A no longer stopping at Square Peg

61/63 going back to Pirory Queensway :)

97/97A using MS7 stop (current 23/24 on cars lane)
4/4A using MS5 stop (current 97/97A on cars lane)
FD using MS6 stop :)

23/24/(maybe 822 didn't) no longer using cars lane, and stopping at MS21

65/66/67/68/X64 moving to PQ9 (current 33/51/907 stop)

Assuming the X21/X22 will go to PQ8 with the 61/63?

X21/X22 has no timetable change, so assuming keeping it as it is.

Ah those new ones, appreciate it

Why can't the 33 51 etc go back the way it was before the changes

Why can't it go this way? The way those services will go is the route they did prior go July 2012. 

I'm happy they are being moved off Priory Queensway and serving more of the Centre again, also nice to see the overbussed Stratford Road stop will soon be no more.

Puts the abandoning buses issue to rest too, not many services serving that stop now so even if a bus is left there it won't put too much pressure

[Jack]

The 33/51 and limited stop services also look to be serving MS9 too.

Surely not. Probably just not appeared yet.
