Diversions

[Westy]

According to Twitter, Walsall 29 is being diverted via Leamore, then Harden Road & Walker Road to Blakenall.

(Over 90 % percent of the route!)

This is due to stone throwing!

Is this not affecting Service 19 either?

Good the 29 has suffered regular vandalism since October mainly after 7pm

Several drivers have also been attacked

I saw 4906 on Washwood Heath Road, Ward End while on the 14 this morning.
55 on diversion in Shard End turning left onto Shard End Crec instead of right.
And 53 on diversion in Bucklands End following the 55 route due to a road closure.

Also when will the 25 diversion be ending @Simon Dunn as the tracking seems to be showing its still on diversion today. Its been diverting for months now.
Maybe better idea for routing it would be right onto Bromford Road from Coleshill Road, left onto Brockhurst Road, left onto Bromford Lane, u turn on Stechford Ln, then terminate at the 11A stop at Fox & Goose. Then it would still stop at both ends of Collingbourne Avenue.

Does anyone know why the bus gate from George Rd to Bath Row is closed causing the X20/X21/X22 to divert via Five Ways? Doesn't appear to be anything going on currently but there's a digger or something parked in the way.

I saw 4906 on Washwood Heath Road, Ward End while on the 14 this morning.

All the 14's are diverting today.

4600 also at Fox & Goose on the 14 this evening, came down Coleshill Road, heading towards City Centre.

Diamond's 16 is on a pretty long diversion this morning, and I presume it will affect NX's 5 and 46 too.

[Westy]

That's an idea.

'Longest diversion from normal route'!

That diversion isn't appearing on TfWM's website, strangely.

Also, wouldn't it be more prudent to divert via M6 J7 and M5 J1, or is there a preference to not take buses onto the motorway and/or expecting there to be congestion there?

EDIT: I read 11am as 11pm, so of course it wouldn't be on there any more.

NX was on the same diversion. Must've been better for them.

I do really need to watch that show.

Judging from the distance markers, that bus joined the M1 at J4.
