All Harborne and Hagley Rd services currently on diversion off Broad St via Sheepcote St and round the back of the ICC to Paradise Circus in both directions due to what looks like some sort of police incident.

The top half of Colmore Row was also closed off, the 9 was stoping at the 127 stop and all traffic was using the side road after the taxi rank. Assume it is for the same reason

Green Lane maybe? I believe last year the traffic jams were within a few miles of Small Heath Park. That's what Birmingham Mail says anyway.

It's basically a like a Blues match but multiplied significantly traffic wise.
