    I know, do you think they made a mistake by not letting through traffic under the BullRing Tunnel? .Also the new Masshouse area is a nightmare to travel through and not much of an improvement to be honest.

    That's brilliant, thank's. I wish we still had the custard yellow and blue livery on the buses instead of the rather bland design we now have to endure.
