Quinton Route Information
This route is planned from the Birmingham City Centre
Extension terminus at Five Ways along the Hagley Road to Quinton.
Stops will be conveniently located along the route to provide good interchange with bus services and easy access to residential, schools, leisure and shopping areas.
Alignment options are still being considered for this route with a possible terminus in the area of M5 J3 with a Park and Ride site; this would be conveniently located to attract motorists from the motorway exit helping to alleviate congestion on the Hagley Road.
