It has always been the way it might be to make sure it is clear. You Don't know If away fans like Millwall could being kept behind. I assume NX get clearance from the Police. It will be the same when we play Aldershot even if there is 6,000. It's happened for years and I assume the Police control the Buses or at least inform NX when it is over

Yes, teams like millwall yes, but today it was a game against Norwich, millwall just like to cause chaos, they smashed up the metro stop I'm sure, I just think maybe a mobile inspector could be on Birmingham road on match days like they did with the St George's day parades, then when the NX inspector thinks it's clear and safe then to send a radio call out to allow buses to serve the Birmingham road again, because I think sometimes they stay on diversion longer than they should and with them running late means the Birmingham road to West Brom are left without services for a while,

And there is notices on the Bus Stop, most Albion Fans walk back into West Brom even me when I go and I have to get the 79. If I miss it I go for a quick Pint and then go wait Five Minutes for it of a Night or Sunday

Does this affect routes in Kingstanding, I'm sure the 997 runs near or down Shady Lane

Shouldn't have affected the 997 or any other route as that factory is on the far end of Shade Lane after the 997 turns off onto Oscott School Lane. No buses use the top end of Shady Lane

Ah right I don't really know the 997 route I know it goes down Shady Lane as I remember seeing something about it.

I had read something a couple of days ago about that but thought it was for that day for a few hours due to a crash. Maybe it was Roadworks

Doesn't the 4 go down Coombes Lane to if so that's two diversions
Just out lf curiosity I was considering going to Birmingham on the 74 the other day I noticed it said On diversion I do know why and I know it is still closed does it stop along that route to pick up passengers or just let them off

The 4 don't but the 4H does. 

With the 74 yes they are supposed to serve bus stops along the route weather it is to board or alight passengers. There is a poster on the running board saying driver must look out for passengers at bus stops along the diversion.

They have demolished the building on Soho Hill and so the 74 should return to it's normal route Tommorrow, as for the 37 also affected by an unsafe building that is January 12th typically The E&S reporting on the matter a week or two late though they got the source of the NX twitter page there is also a diversion again on the 74 coming up between 9AM and 4PM on two days for Manhole Repairs on New Road? It must be near Birmingham. I'll figure out where it is and then put the diversion I've seen
