Diversions

[Tony]

Been a serious RTC on the Coventry Road,  Hay Mills. Seems the X1 and X2 is  not using the Small Heath bypass. It's going down Coventry Road then Heybarnes Road, Hob Moor Road, WashLane, Holder Road to Cov Road. The road likely to be closed until tomorrow morning according to WMP.

Fatal RTC

On 4912 on a outbound 95 this afternoon, and passed 4913 waiting to turn out of Drews Lane towards City, driver slowed down and checked running board and carried on. When it got to Foley Road stop it met other parked up buses and police cars blocking the road and just then announcement came over the radio that it'd be closed in both directions.

Diversion is Bromford Lane, Drews Lane due to police closure on Washwood Heath Road, Ward End.

529 on diversion to Wolverhampton via Bentley for next few days.

Presumably at the weekend it will be diverted via Bentley both ways, all due to the Junction 10 work!

Just had an 'odd' service disruption email from TfWM's Disruptions service:

What happened?

Due to a broken down bus on Digbeth in Birmingham, NXWM 2, 3, and 6 will divert via Bradford Street towards city only


So, what about the 4, 5, 17, 60, 97, X1 and X2?

Unless seperate notifications have been sent out for those other services, I'm only subscribed to disruptions for the 2 and 3.

Looking on BusTimes, doesn't seem to be any sign of diversions happening, services are running in both directions through Digbeth.

Saw a standard E400 with ticket branding carrying passengers along Brofmord Lane this morning heading towards the Fox and Goose. Bus times says it was 4844.

4799 on the one behind which I also saw took normal route. So presumably whatever caused it to take that route shortly cleared.

Not seen a AG bus on Blossomfield Rd since the A12 was lost to Landfilight.

According to Twitter earlier, there was an accident on the Mellish Road in Walsall, which caused the 6 / 7 to be diverted via Rushall & Daw End instead.

I think the sign was probably there from the previous Sunday. Though I did notice that sign yes.

There was an 'incident' this morning at the Five Ways junction with Broad Street, driver probably wasn't aware of the 'official diversion'.
