Bus Route Runs: New for 2024

This year, any run that overlaps a bus route in the West Midlands (that is, on my bus season ticket) will trigger the start of eventually running the full path of said route. For example, Thursday and Friday I did lunchtime runs which overlapped parts of Route 76 — as well as many more — which meanders from Northfield to Solihull (mapped above).

Also, since some of the routes use limited-access/pedestrian-prohibited roads a good faith effort to follow these segments as closely as practical will be mapped; however, rest assured that all runs, including these with alternative run paths, will pass every bus stop.

This will necessarily be a multiyear project and may never be completed. I’ve only run 25 miles since New Year’s Day and have already overlapped segments of all of the bus routes shown here:
