Two Diamond buses taking their long lunch on the 900 unloading stop at the back of Selfridges now have parking tickets on their windscreens!

They have been parked there for well over 30 minutes. The rule on that stop is you are only allowed one minute unless you are dropping off passengers. The longest you are allowed on the Bus Stands in Birmingham as opposed to Bus Stops is 10 minutes

Diamond 4H going towards Walsall from Halesowen takes so long in comparison with reverse. Why?

sonic84

I would suggest five to ten mins of this is due to yhr diamond route using Church Croft, Richmond Street and Stourbridgr Road to access Earls Way towards Walsall. The right turn on to Stourbrdge Road is particularly nasty and that can be busy, especially at peaks.

Trident 4194

Yes probably, also I saw a man on 192 driving with the back open. Is this legal?

the trainbasher

@Trident 4194 some little delinquents probably opened the back flap without the driver realising

As I suspected from looking at the new timetable for the 142 on network West Midlands website it looks as if the 142 will interwork with the 54.

the trainbasher

@sonic84 want to put money on delays occurring more often on it because of the interworking

with the 54 being re-routed so as to avoid the motorway island possibly not as a rule but  when the tesco bags are playing at home that will be a different story!!
it's been a while....

B20 WTS was at a bus stop fairly near Smethwick Galton Bridge/Oldbury area last night around 7:30pm with all lights and hazards on - destination display read 'VOR' - I'm not local so don't know if that's of any significance but have posted it anyway.

the trainbasher

@StourportSam they usually display that when the bus needs some attention by the mechanics when they get to depot
