5426 WN on X8

2234 (WB 40) on the 89 today

1869 (28) branded on the 8C - approx 17.25 at Five Ways

1. As already mentioned the Sprint bus route will be delayed. That only a weeks notice will be provided of a delay
2. The Midland Metro extension to "Edgbaston Village" aka Morrisons Hagley Road which should have opened this month will not open as the rails in the Five Ways underpass will have been installed the wrong way up as it's dark in a tunnel. This excuse will be used for c9 months until they find the trams don't have the power for the incline anyway

The Monument Road stop was convenient for people interchanging between Hagley Rd buses and the 8 towards Hockley. Having had the misfortune to have spent the past 26 years commuting from Quinton/Bearwood etc into town the traffic lights at the Plough & Harrow disproportionately favour motorists travelling from the Hockley direction towards the Five Ways roundabout. This then creates excessive delays to traffic along Hagley Road towards Monument Road.

4901 came past me on Colmore Row NIS around 5pm yesterday (no doubt there's an explanation as to why it wasn't in service.....and why it was then parked or broken down on Grosvenor Street to add to the issues with the traffic yesterday evening)
