Just arrived at merry hill to find chaos on the buses.
All but 276 Dudley (as far as I'm aware) and 002 Weoley Castle are leaving Merry Hill via Mill Street and Mount Pleasant (and the old 237 route) with centro and intu staff stopping traffic to allow buses to exit. Right now I've got a 20 minutes late 4M and a 10 late 141 right behind my 228.
Also X96 Wollaston is entering Merry via Venture Way and Mill Street.
So far it's took my 228 to get from the bus station to kfc 10 minutes
Also Arriva are being badly hit on the 213/214 with buses running 30 down
All buses back on Normal Line of Route according to the radio with my X96 and the one literally in front being the last 2 buses on diversion via Venture Way (my X96 being 25 late)
2083 which was my X96 now 49 down!

Is it a coincidence that on the day that Dudley Council finish their totally inadequate bus lane in The Boulevard, everything goes t*its up?
It was chaos Tuesday too
