If the autumn is particularly wet or windy or dry then the replacement bus service would be required.<br /> Mr Steve Milliband spokesman for “The consultation group to decide if railway is needed” said “We see the possibility for a replacement bus service between Birmingham during September 2025, around the 8th, at about 10.08, It may be that some passengers will want to travel out of London, but I cannot think why”.<br /> There already several interested groups, First National, Stagecoach, Replacement bus services limited, and Ryan air.<br /> Ryan air have submitted a quote of less than £95.00 for 20,000 passenger journeys, though this does not include seating, or food, or drink, or toilets or buses. </p>
