Another bus route article that offers nothing as to how WP:GNG is met. Nothing in the way of references are provided and none appear to available on searching. Nuttah (talk) 07:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. None of the routes in notable separately, and the group of routes covered here (which is synthesis anyway, as no other source talks about them as a group) doesn't seem to be either. A better prospect might be Buses in Sutton Coldfield, which appears to have more going for it. Alzarian16 (talk) 10:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment -- This is a rather more substantive article than many on bus routes. It is not in fact "buses in Sutton Coldfield" but buses from Birmingham to Sutton Coldfield.  I suspect that the inclusdion of the borough of Sutton Coldfield within the city of Birmingham in 1974 is still a slightly sensative issue, but Birmingham to Sutton Coldfield bus corridor might be a better title.

 * Indeed it would be, if there were any sources to show that it's a notable topic. In the absence of anything reliable, we have to delete as unverifiable if nothing else. Alzarian16 (talk) 08:09, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Keep 'This bus corridor is notable. The 110 was one of the routes that sparked a fare war between AM PM Travel and Arriva Midlands, the service being originaly operated by Midland Red North/Arriva Midlands North prior to AM PM Travel joining it. The service was invested in in 2008/2009 with Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Geminis. The NXWM "sutton Lines" services (902-915) were introduced in 2002 along with brand new Volvo B7TL/Alexander ALX400s. In 2010, NXWM cut the 104/A/5 and replaced them with evening/Sunday services on the Aston Expressway services 902-915. User:Dudleybus User talk:Dudleybus 18:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep combination articles like this on bus routes are the way to handle them. If they can be verified, it can be assumed that all public transport routes are sufficiently notable for at least inclusion into such a group article.    DGG ( talk ) 00:51, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
