Surprised no one has noted that Wrens Nest has been isolated most of the day, according to the Nx site, due to the weather today.
120 and 289 are affected this morning.
120 - not serving City Road, from city bus will continue down Hagley Road and turn into Wolverhampton Road continuing until Florence Road then back on its normal route.  (Both directions)
289 - not serving Stuart Road. using Throne Road, Portway Road and Hanover Road

Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

That actually doesn't make sense, wish NX Bus would proof-read this stuff first.  :o
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Since when did the 120 serve City Road?

It means City Road in Dudley / Portway, the very steep hill off Birmingham New Road. That diversion posted above however suggests it's missing out all of Warley, Londonderry, Oldbury etc which is clearly not the case.

They put 935A, instead of 937A. 935A got withdrawn over two years ago. It didn't come from Walsall either. If I'm being more pedantic, it's Deers Leap, not Dears Leap. Proofreading wouldn't go amiss!

Oh right. Yeah I'm not familiar with that side as you can probably tell.

Noticed that the 33 was officially pulled from Pheasey, Deers Leap and Warren Farm, the former strange because all other buses were still using Collingwood Drive

Interesting to note that the PB52/A are terminating on the Walsall Road and yet the 28s are managing to come up Beeches Road now

The 52 would easily get to Hassop Road, it's the 52A that will struggle to get up Booths Farm Road Hill.

Oh great a SWB E200. They are struggling to get up Booths Farm Road on the 52A.

Buses are stuck on Masshouse Lane. saw a picture of a Walsall MMC and a 33 Enviro400 stuck there on Facebook. 55, 66 and 94s are terminating by the ring road. Also Moor Street is not been used due to the hill by the 50 stop X1, X2, 6, 60 and 97s are terminating by the Markets

Outer Circle is suspended

Can see service been pulled soon with the conditions
