Celebrating 100 Years of the No. 11 Bus Route

Join No. 11 Arts for a unique creative journey celebrating the 100th anniversary of Birmingham’s iconic No. 11 bus route. At 26 miles long, the No. 11 Outer Circle is the longest urban bus route in Europe.

Using the Overhear app, passengers travelling on the 11A and 11C routes can scan a QR code on the bus to listen to poems and stories inspired by the route and the people who have travelled it, past and present.

Along the route, there will be opportunities to get off the bus, take part in creative craft activities, and share your own memories and stories of travelling on the No. 11.
