New 24 hour/7 days a week bus service boosts transport links to Birmingham Airport

Shift workers, job seekers and even holiday-makers are set to benefit from a new
24 hour bus service linking some of the region’s biggest employers. The route of
the existing 97 service between Birmingham city centre, Heartlands Hospital and
Chelmsley Wood is to be extended from Sunday 24 March 2013 to also serve
Birmingham Airport, National Exhibition Centre and the Birmingham Business Park
 
The specially branded bus will also run every hour from midnight including Saturdays and
Sundays, offering a significant transport boost for shift workers at the various locations

The route and 24 hour timetable are the result of a partnership between Centro,
the region’s transport authority, bus operator National Express West Midlands,
Solihull Council, Birmingham Airport and the National Exhibition Centre
