The deal is in place to celebrate the the return of buses along Broad Street.

What’s been said about the offer?

Chris Gibbens, Commercial Director for National Express West Midlands, said:“With some key roads on our network reopening, National Express West Midlands customers will benefit from quicker bus journeys.

“Many of our buses returning to Broad Street means customers will save around 25 minutes on their daily bus journeys.

“So we’d like to give something back to our customers for remaining loyal during service diversions while the work has been completed. We are offering a limited number of discounted weekly tickets on Broad Street services, starting with a huge 25% off during June and further discounts to follow through to September.”

Customers using National Express West Midlands X1 and X2 bus services that pass the Poets Corner roundabout on the A45 Small Heath highway will also benefit from quicker journeys.

Road closures were previously in place in the area to allow Sprint bus route construction work to take place.
