There was an accident in common lane this morning so could be why he diverted.
It wasn't this morning, it was yesterday morning. I posted that yesterday afternoon at 1PM.

The driver on Igo 4002 this morning on the first 99 of the day to Shard End, took a short cut in Sheldon and followed the 71E/71A/72 route straight down, Church Road, skipping out part of the route, Common Lane, Barrows Lane and Brays Road. Not good, as there could have been passengers waiting for it down there.
A E200 was operating the 15:15 96 to Sheldon from Acocks Green this afternoon, as always nobody had changed the destination and it was still displaying Hall Green, which would have been quite confusing for passengers. Its duct tape was peeling of as well.

A Solo SR has broken down on Station Road in Stechford and was partially blocking the road earlier. I think it was KX14FJZ?

Quite interested to see what route the new 10S which will be replacing the 647 will take per the latest service changes on NWM.

Sandy Lane

Desperate time for the COV 26 today. 0701 running the service complete with manual opening main passenger door.

Interesting route. It's a shame the 10H is being reduced the hourly. It seemed well used during the day, particularly before the NXWM services were rerouted in the city centre.

Long time since I made a comment but the state of the fleet does nothing to enhance the image and the 10H going hourly, might as well take it off and just run the 10

I hadn't realised before but the 10h will now divert from the green man to the QE hospital then run via edgbaston park road and church road up towards the botanical gardens and then via the normal line of route to Birmingham.

That now makes the 10h a 70 minute trip end to end.

Additional vehicles now on fleet:

YJ67 FYK - Solo SR M790SL
YJ67 FYM - Solo SR M790SL
YJ67 FYN - Solo SR M790SL

These are at Wolverhampton for the 50 and 57. Also at Wolverhampton, appears to be KX15 BHL (2107), which is used on the 57.

Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...
