West Midlands Bus Route 11
The Birmingham Outer Circle is a roughly circular, 27 mile (43 km) bus route in Birmingham, England (a small section crosses into Sandwell). It mainly follows the city's outer ring road, the A4040 with some small deviations to serve some rail stations and shopping areas. Buses on the Outer Circle are numbered 11C on the clockwise journey and 11A on the anticlockwise journey. Buses are numbered 11E for journeys terminating at Acocks Green or City Hospital.
The route is operated by National Express West Midlands, usually with Volvo B7TL/Wrightbus double-decker buses. Following bus deregulation in 1986 several companies have competed on sections of this route. Falcon Travel, Serverse Travel and AM PM Travel have traversed the entire route.
