The 61 and 63 (also known as the Bristol Road services) offer a combined daytime frequency of every 10 minutes along this corridor. In 2002, the service was given Dennis Tridents which were branded for this route, naming it the Jubilee line. However since then all these vehicles have transferred to Yardley Wood Depot. As a result, it is very common to see any type of vehicle that Birmingham Central has on the route, usually consisting of Volvo B7TL Plaxton President's/ Alexander ALX400, Optare Spectra's and Dennis Trident 2's.

All services all serve the areas of Lee Bank, Edgbaston, Selly Oak and Northfield before service 61 goes off to Gannow and 63 serving Longbridge before going to their respective termini.
