Looks like NX have a contract to run shuttle buses to St Andrew's for every Birmingham City home game for the remainder of the season.

Good to see.

Where will they stop by the ground though? As the 17 and 60 get diverted due to Coventry Road being closed off an hour before and after kick off.

EDIT: Clearly I didn't read it properly as it will serve St Andrew's Road.

It seems fans are conveniently dropped off on St Andrew's Road near to the ground.

And season ticket holders.  Apparently there are 700 seats available on the service. The Villa service operates every 15 mins
