STR1 Figure 16

Proposed change

Amend Figure 16 – Core Bus Network Plan – correct the Core Bus Network

  • The plan is missing the current cross-city route from Smethwick (near Rolfe Street Railway Station), through Cape Hill, towards Birmingham (serving buses 54, 82 and 87) and this should be added to the plan.
  • The plan shows a route along the A457 Tollhouse Way / Soho Way and then along the B4135 Cranford Street / Heath Street; however, there are no bus services along this route, which should be amended.

The route along Hamstead Road should continue up to the A4041 Newton Road Core Bus Network - replace map with amended version

Reason

Corrections
