Diversions

[ellspurs]

Looks like the J10 slip road overnight diversion is still on, as the 529 I'm on, has had to do a complete 360 degree turn, heading back towards Walsall,  but turning into Bloxwich Lane & Bentley instead!

What the crap are they doing up there? Is someone sweeping up using a toothbrush or something? Are they having a race with the Wolverhampton metro extension to see who can drag it out the longest?

AG 17 on Moat Lane earlier due to a fatal crash. Crowds now having a memorial have meant police blocking off Moat Lane again.

4631 on service 16 from Wolverhampton to Stourbridge overtook the 15 I was on (4597) in Tiled House Lane at 1815 this evening.  It appears that it diverted via Tansley Green Road, High Street, High Oak, Commonside, Tiled House Lane, Bromley Lane, Standhills Road and High Street to get back on route at Kingswinford Cross.  Unsurprisingly, it was about 40 minutes late when it reached Stourbridge.

The drivers at Wolverhampton are reading traffic notices at the depot aren't they?

Yet another 360 at Junction 10 this morning!

Can a driver decide to do a diversion on his or her own accord or do they need permission? My X21 this morning decided to go down Harborne Lane instead of New Fosse Way because of the ridiculous traffic caused by the temporary 3 way lights. I'm glad they did to be honest I'm just curious who's decision it has to be.

I'm surprised they weren't sent down Bromford Road. With that long of a diversion I guess that's why they have adjusted the timetable on some days.

The NX website declined to mention what the diversion route was, for some reason.

Saw 1872 coming down Bromford Road this morning heading towards Coleshill Road from Bromford Lane passed me by Collingbourne Avenue while I was waiting to come out to go to Tesco about 10:40ish. I think it was on a 28 to either Heartlands Hospital or could have been going to Great Barr didn't catch the destination properly

Diversion is for HS2 works on Chester Road - presumably preparing for the line to pass under/over the road.  According to TfWM is only on until Monday.

Saw a 14 come through Ward End on the Washwood Heath Road about 20:30. 4799 I think.
