Don't know if there was a problem on the Bristol Road earlier on today but 6870 on the 63 came past me on Woodlands Park Road in Bournville earlier this morning, must have been around 1015 or so when I was walking up there. As Tony posted that one isn't tracking at present so couldn't see what was going on!

24 I caught earlier took a slightly different route to the PN buses that are taking the 126 route. Went down Clement Street.
6941 even still has its X10 annoucements for the old diversion route prior to returning to Broad Street. Ruston Street, ec.

The official diversion listed on the NXWM website and twitter page is via Sandpits / Parade and Clement Street but sounds like PN buses have been using Cambridge Street.

Do you count temporary stop movements as 'Diversions '?

If so, signs in Walsall Bus Station say the row of stops for the 31/32/41/529 & X51 will be out of action wc 24th October, for essential maintenance, moving the X51, 41 & 529 to the middle row stops & the 31 / 32 to the Jobcentre stop(where X51 to Birmingham unloads!)

I suppose it might cause confusion if the X51 to Birmingham didn't stop there for the week & put the X51 to Cannock with the 31 & 32 as well, so all the Bloxwich Road services were together?

144A diverted down Stourbridge Road instead of Broad Street and Crabtree Lane for next couple of days also there's a DD on it at the moment 4726

2 late evening diversions were on tonight.
X21/X22 toward University Station/Bartley Green only: left Church Road, u turn at island, back along Church Road, Westbourne Road, Richmond Hill Road, Pritchatts Road, Vincent Drive.
76 to/from Northfield are running into the Bartley Green area. Crommwell Lane, Genners Lane, Jiggins Lane, Stonehouse Way.

The 76 is already on a semi long term diversion in Stirchley. This one will be a couple of weeks, almost the entirety of Barnes Hill blocked off this evening. I'm sure the 29 used that diversion years ago.

Currently they have the Northbound blocked off, so 76 to Northfield is normal line of route, 76 to Solihull is diverted via Cromwell Road, Newman University, Jiggins Lane and Stonehouse Lane.

Though, it is set to change at some point with signs saying the road closure on both sides, may well mean that 76 to Northfield will be diverted too.

Sorry, yeah, that's what I meant almost the entirety of one lane. I'm surprised it's getting done though there's roads out there a lot worse than Barnes Hill

In any case, a bit of nostalgia this morning with the X21 diverted down Harborne Lane and Metchley Lane.

2206 · October 26, 2022, 06:56:29 PM

Saw 4811 come down Cato Street, went left and turned round at the island to come back towards Chelmsley on the 14 at about 1PM this afternoon.

Diversion or just turned down the wrong road? Was something up with Devon Street?
