Although it was only a practice run, the concept behind it was an excellent one but, rather than have a soundtrack, I think it would be far more better if the person behind the camera provided a commentary about the history of the route which could potentially be of benefit to those who are new to the area.

Just a suggestion....

I think it would be a bit fast - you can't tell where you are anyways from the vid.

Is that kingsheath northampton to kingsheath birmingham? cos n towns one aint very nice and i doubt the brummy one is ne better

[jonbounds]

it's KH in brum to KH in Brum - it's a circle.

wasn't raining when i started, you just can't stop the loop. twas only meant to be a practice run, but I'm not sure i want to do it again without the three camera set-up i wanted to use... anyone want to fund new version?

>Great Sir Digby Chicken Caesar soundtrack though. oh, yeah. bloody Mitchell & Webb pinching my ideas.

I have done the full circle, but not all in one go... and both times I started from Erdington. Some day I shall do it... some day I shall step up to the plate and conquer the 11. I dream of that day.

True bus expert are u a trainspotter aswell

[ChaudChip]

@duff0286 Well yes, the number 50 route would have been shorter....seen as it's a shorter route. The point of this video is to show the longest bus route in Birmingham in 5 minutes, to give people a taste of what it's like. If you want to see the most frequent bus route in Birmingham, then he could have recorded the number 50.

Is this the greatest bus route in history?

I ♥ birmingham

[monstersushi]

They did steal this, you should sue them!!!

[talicomaverick]

Thanks for posting this. I am looking to move to Birmingham from the otherside of the world, so it help me to see what it's like.

[duff0286]

Lol as if u did this it must have beenboring. How long is the route 2.5 hours? Still funny enough with that soundtrack I think the 50 route would have been shorter

There still isn't a direct bus link between Bristol road at Selly Oak, the student ghetto around the uni, and Harborne - where there's actually proper shops and restaurants etc etc. It's such a ridiculous situation.
