Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on January 05, 2024, 07:28:52 PMThey 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

It's more laughable that it is a "Plus" article you have to subscribe to in order to read it.

It annoys me that that the media seems to think Nx is the only operator in the area, as there's no mention of Diamond's 326, which uses the same route!

Oh, & there's no mention on the TfWm site either.

Didn't you say that the Diamond 326 was using Wood Street and just avoiding that section therefore still serving the road. Whereas NX are avoiding it completely.

Apart from one day this week, when it did another route onto the Stringes Lane area, yes.

(Thursday, as it was a E200, not a Solo!)

Therefore the E&S probably quoted NX Twitter as they mentioned it but they could have still asked if Diamond were doing a diversion.

Do they know the 326 exists?

Suspect not.

Why would the Express & Star be expected to know every route?

They know what they are told by the operators

You would've thought Diamond might have mentioned something themselves, on their own social media as well!

I know I 'piggy backed' on the Nx post at the time, to ask Diamond what was happening, but I don't recall seeing a reply.

NX haven't mentioned a diversion for the 74 despite the Albion being at home it isn't a sell out probably about 10K but I am assuming it is on diversion.

Yes it will most likely be on diversion as it is on all home games.

This morning I got the 1044 34 service from Darlaston to Willenhall. Got close to Morrissons, Willenhall. Then had to turn around because some road was closed.  Are drivers allowed to reverse without a supervisor present.  I wonder why the closure wasn't mentioned on his running board.

I gather you was on a 37. That road has been closed since before Christmas due to an unstable building after a fire.

37 and it should be Lower Lichfield Street has been closed for a while due to an unsafe structure I'm sure it was either due to reopen this week but maybe delayed. He driver should have  continued along Sandbeds Road onto Clarks Road then onto Walsall Street then Middle Peice Way to normal line of route
