National Express West Midlands 4533, a Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini, lays over at the bus stand on Turnhouse Road between journeys on route 67, the route linking Castle Vale estate with Birmingham city centre. The 67 formerly terminated in a turning circle at Reed Square, but since the redevelopment of the district centre it has turned by circumnavigating the centre, laying over here between the set down and pick up points. For many years, the 67 was operated using articulated buses (hence the provision of the very long layby here), but reverted to double decker operation a few years ago.
