Diversions

[Westy]

Just been to Willenhall and the 37 is on a diversion from Stroud Aveune until December 12th to Willenhall it is going Birchtree Hollow, following the 41 Route until Sandbeds Road and the normal line of route and reverse of Above. Coming back I caught the 529 and it appears Townend Street is closed between 11 and 2 so the 529, 36 and 41 are diverted Green Lane, Blue Lane West and Wolverhampton Road both ways. Only a temporary one no idea why. By the time the bus I was on get there it had not long closed so I couldn't see anything. Stroud Aveune is for Gas Main works according to a friend who lives that way

The Walsall closure is down to the Knife Angel arriving!

Ah yes cause I had heard about that but didn't remember the date. Appropriate after another Stabbing in Walsall yesterday on Bridge Street

the 96 has been very unlucky today, two accidents on its route in the space of mins, with diversions at coleshill road and at the fort, (was on PB1830 exactly when the fort one occured ended up arriving into erdington 30 mins late on an already short 96E journey)

WA 10 Service are not serving Brownhills west/A5 instead terminating at Brownhills Libary (service 8 terminus)

Was on 6823 earlier on the X4,  went down the Lichfield Road instead of the Aston Expressway.
Guessing there must have been a problem on the expressway.

Skip lorry stationary in lane two inbound, meaning they used the smart signs to make it two lanes in and two lanes out.

40/47 and 79 diverted in Wednesbury 79 and 47 defiantly are NX listed the 40 but I don't think it goes this way 
Due to Holyhead Road in Wednesbury being closed due to Emergency Water works 
79 to West Bromwich From Wednesbury 
Turn around at Dudley Street Island onto Dudley Street Walsall Street Hydes Road Woden Road South then Holloway Bank Continue Normal line of route. 
79 to Wolverhampton unaffected 
Was very confused along with a few passengers as to why we were going that way so asked the driver who told us he didn't know the reason but that Holyhead Road was closed NX Twitter said Water Works

Burst water main

Yeah saw it as I was on 4992 in a convoy with two other 79's to Wolverhampton

Brierley Hill High Street has reopened to two way traffic.  I'm not sure what the position is with the bus routes.  The 15A I caught to Merry Hill today used High Street.  However, I later saw a 6 to Stourbridge using Venture Way.

TfWM put out this tweet yesterday, the diversion remains in place due to parking issues.

Haven't seen this listed the Gas works they are doing on Willenhall Street didn't affect the 39 Friday or Saturday. But they seem to be going down St Lawrence Way, Addenbrooke Street, Rough Hay Road and then Hall Street East to Wolverhampton Street I did notice the School by me letting out Nursery Kids eairler and the Police were stood by the Roadworks but they got picked up. Seems strange Stafford Road is still open I've seen traffic go down there I could only assume the turning is now to tight for the Buses to turn onto Stafford Road and maybe the Traffic caused at school times is delaying the 39 to much maybe.

Whatever caused the 39's to divert since the first bus of the day appears to be clear which means it wasn't the roadworks or the Traffic unless the driver of 808 forgot they were being diverted as it just went down Stafford Road

Only 808 has done the journey up to Walsall and back down Stafford Road 1884 which came up to Walsall headed back St Lawrence Way to Bilston. Probably due to the School Run although 808 passed through at that time to Walsall. There was horns being blared and many Parents weren't being let out. All seems to be clearing now. These Roadworks apparently end Tommorrow. The Council lists them as ending at Midnight so basically Wednesday Morning.

39 still avoiding Stafford Road although 1885 just used Stafford Road to Stowlawn but 1855 just used St Lawrence Way and they are stopping down there. As I said they were running down Stafford Road fine Thursday, Friday and Saturday and some made it down there yesterday @Tony do you know the reason the 39 is diverting The Gas Works are after Stafford Road turning and the lights have been there since the end of last week so I can only assume it's congestion
