Introduction Birmingham City Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council Travel West Midlands and Centro are working together to provide extensive new priority measures for the outer circle (Route 11) bus service. 2001-2004 2003 saw work carried out on the bus stops. This involved the upgrading of kerbs and paving at a number of stops to allow the use of low-floor easy access buses, as well as the provision of larger and improved shelters at many locations. This work continued into 2004. Periods of public exhibitions have been carried out around the route. Feedback from these exhibitions has enabled us to tailor the proposals to meet the needs of the whole community. Public Consultation The Route 11 Bus Showcase is a major scheme which will involve upgrading one of Birmingham's most important bus routes. As part of ongoing Route 11 Bus Showcase Programme, improvements are being made to a number of key junctions along the route. If you have any queries please contact our enquiry team on 0121 303 6644.
