The trouble is, the traffic on Grosevenor Road is just about the worst in the area. Because Lichfield Road is all snarled up, you normally get 1 or 2 cars maximum able to turn onto Lichfield Road at a time, so a bus is going to be sat there for ages like everybody else. Once on Lichfield Road, the bus will be OK because there's a bus lane, but actually getting on to it is a massively frustrating ball ache. They'd be much better running it from outside Aston Station on Lichfield Road.

Where is Grosvenor Road? The only one i can see on Google Maps is the other side of the A34.
I wonder when the latest one will be?
Buses will depart from Grosvenor Road and run back to Birmingham New Street at regular intervals for up to two hours after the final whistle for every game.
Years ago I remember getting a "football special" bus from up at top of Corporation Street /Old Square to Villa Park every week, probably mid 80s. Can't remember the number but it wasnt an ordinary service bus.
More revenue raised for the club. Good idea.
