4Hs very late this evening.

Trident 4194

4 4Hs running in convoy currently in blackheath. I suppose that's what happens when you put a 10 minute frequency alongside a stupidly tight timetable

32332 on service 27 should have been on the 0920 from Wolverhampton to Dudley. Instead it started from Sedgley at 1000, 17 minutes late.

I assume you mean 32233 or 32322? There's no 32332.

Any of the Diamond services that used Bewdley Hill/Bewdley Road were heavily delayed both today and Tuesday because of the sheer number of people trying to get into the West Midlands Safari Park. When I drove through today I saw a 125 and 8 in the jam, as well as a Yarrantons' 291.

Surely Diamond knows when the school holidays are and it could have been easier to adjust times or WMSP needs to employ marshalls to keep traffic flowing along the Kidderminster Road

Not sure if WMSP marshalls could legally control traffic on a public highway,  that would surely be a police job. As for Diamond, a notice on buses and at key stops stating that buses could be delayed wouldn't be remiss.

45 and 16A are a mess, no 45's have arrived in West Brom for almost an hour. 32261 has arrived and is now NIS.

Looking at Bustimes, Hallam Street has a few buses stuck on it.

Two Diamond 4H's following each other around Hasbury at Midday (32124 & 32134)

16A's are a mess. Loads of people at West Brom moaning and saying they want the 46 back. I can agree, the 16A for reliability is shocking. Every person has said 'why take off a service that's been going for years and always carried lots of people?'

Least Diamond have an inspector at the bus station stand to help, unlike NX...

Ahaha sign of the schools going back or the withdrawal of streetdecks?
