I lived in Rubery for 20 odd years, all I can say is get a one way ticket out of there and don't turn back.

The AV2 bus from Knowle is not running this year. Anyone got any insight into why?

I would imagine it's also that whoever runs them makes no money. Whenever i've been selling and any of the AV buses went past it was pretty rare for them to be even half full. Some looked like they only had a dozen or so people on.

Thanks for clarifying that PWS. My Dad relied on the AV2 to get to games last year. It's a shame they have stopped it as it was usually 3/4 full and very convenient.

I know they have been hiking up the prices for KE Aston which have doubled since my lad started and he is going into the 6th form this year.

They are however still running a single service for the shit (from Sherlock Street to the Sty I think). The Villa Tamworth service is no operated by Arriva I believe.
