Due to the police incident on the 40 route (West Bromwich to Wednesbury) looks like there has been 3 different diversions tonight but only one was if you look at 818 on bus times you can see on one of the trips I think it went down into friar park then back up from where it came to then go down hall green road come out onto the 47 route and followed it into Wednesbury, and on one of the trips it did the simple diversion which I thought would of just been the main and easiest diversion going straight down Crankhall lane, only other thing I could of thought of why theve gone on different diversions because of the nature of the incident some may be aware, that West Midlands police have contacted National express and diamond bus and told them to avoid that part for the time being I'm not too sure.

Couldn't have lasted very long because it was open at 8 tonight. Also buses were stuck near the bottom of Caldmore Rd when it was cordoned off. This was due to a shop window being targeted by a gun shot from what I hear.

It looks like the road may have only recently reopened after over 5 hours so a fatality seemed the inevitable outcome. Very sad indeed.
