The 11C is on diversion in Ward End today.
I saw various 11's comming down the Washwood Heath Rd and rejoining the normal line of route at the Fox And Goose.
The diversion is presumably Drew Ln and Washwood Heath Rd.

Sutton and Newtown services are using either Dale End or Snow Hill diversion due to the traffic build up from Park Street been closed. Moor Street is also starting to get very busy as well

Priory Queensway/Old Square is carnage right now with so many extra buses going down it.

I was thinking of coming to Brum tomorrow.

If it's like today, I'm thinking twice! (Unless I go via West Brom & Metro it from there?)

Has the 51/X51 departed from their usual stops, despite being on diversion?

Due to closure of Park St.
51/X51 don't serve Park Street so use there normal stops.
Just Coventry Rd routes and 17 that aren't using the stop on Park St.
According to the sign on Park St its closed for a week till the 25th.

Didn't take much longer than usual to get in/out of the City Centre when I was on the 94 earlier, not sure about other times of day (I came in about 2 and left about 5). The bus must have been late though, as it went dead from there to Chelmsley I think. Priory Queensway seemed alright when I was there.
James Watt Queensway inbound seemed to be where the problem was and consequently that affects Jennens Rd.

If that traffic does happen to be bad on those routes there's always the option of getting of at Aston Uni and walking the last bit from there, which i've seen people do when the traffic around James Watt Queensway/Jennens Rd in the past.

Yeah, coming from someone who doesn't use this route into City daily...
As been said before not all drivers were using James Watt Queensway and instead going straight along St Chads Queensway, so people wouldn't be able to get off at Aston University (depending on the diversion route they take).

Due to roadworks 14 was on diversion was going down Sladefield road and the. Washwood Heath road

Westy · February 17, 2019, 12:02:26 PM

Looks like the diversion is on again as my 51 went by the courts & down Priory Queensway!

It's on for a week, expect it. Just hope it won't be rammed with extra buses like yesterday.

Hopefully there won't be 952's starting service at The Clifton, like 1896 yesterday, which left passengers on the Estate stranded for an extra 20 minutes waiting for 1851...
