Not sure whether to add this link to this thread or not, but it has the potential to cause a bit of grief certainly in the Hawthorns area.

Has NX decide not to post their diversions via X exclusively? I don't remember when the West Midlands side has this many diversions showing on its page.

Considering the scenes inside the Hawthorns I expect the 74 to be diverted for a lot longer today. As it could Kick off again outside.

The trouble now with X/Twitter is that it has become a 'closed shop' where only registered users can view content there.

They will now have to consider the fact that not everyone is on Twitter/X, so important diversion details should be posted on their own website.

Bus operators will have to find new ways of effectively communicating updates to their passengers, as not everyone will want to sign up to Twitter/X just to get the latest bus updates.

To be fair, Threads hasn't set the world alight either & Next Door, which I've mentioned before on this forum, is 'too local' for NX's needs in my opinion!

First time I've heard of a service being diverted due to a Funeral service. Of the top of my head the 34, 37, 39, 69, 79 and 529 all run past Cemetries and They have never been diverted due to a funeral proccesions. The 34/37/39 Is Fallings Heath on Walsall Road, 69 is Willenhall Lawn Cemetery, the 79 passes Bilston Cemetery just off the Bilston Road and the 529 passes Bentley Cemetery.
