The gap in the central reservation here has long been used for turning buses arriving from Birmingham city centre via the dual carriageway section of Priory Road. Route 38 originally terminated here; in the 1980s it was sensibly combined with the very similar 13 to form the 12, a single route for the eastern part of Yardley Wood. In the early 2000s (if memory serves), the 12 was extended to Shirley Station; a few years later it was further extended to Solihull and renumbered 3, but has since been cut back to terminate here once more.
