VERY Late running services

[PB2938]

WA 9 is being retired PM Peak from 05 June 2022 with more running time so reliability should improve. New timetable now on TFWM website.

[MasterPlan]

Not sure it counts as very late but just seen an X21 and X22 leave the City terminus at the same time with another X22 parked up there and another X21 approaching it.

[I love Walsall buses]

29s running late as usual for this time although 5 have just gone down in a space of  2 minutes with 4578 4333 2112 1847 and 1833

[2206]

4844 currently about 30 minutes down on the 95.

4844 currently about 30 minutes down on the 95.

I think it's not the only one. Three 94s and two 95s all left the city within a few minutes of each other around 4pm ish. One of the 94s left as 94E to Fox and goose.

I think 4844 was the first one to come in, in a while and first to leave. Leaving City 15:51 according to bus times. Which was the one I got.

Any idea what the matter with the X51s 3 havent turned up from Birmingham the 16:25,35,45?

Edit: it seems they all came into birmingham but left not in service what is the reason for this?

WA 9 - Sister came for the 2010 ex Walsall to Wolves, arriving Bloxwich 2036 approx.

That vehicle is still in Walsall at time of post, so she's decided to catch the 31 to the Mossley turn off, then walk the rest of the way, hopefully picking up a 59, once she hits the Ashmore Park area!

Looking at Bustimes, 1843(I guess should've been the bus?) ran dead from Walsall direct to Sneyd Lane in Bloxwich, then continued dead on normal route.

I guess it's going to pick up it's next scheduled Wolves to Walsall departure? (Driver shortage?)

In the meantime, sister has managed to get to the first stop on Lichfield Road thst the 59 serves & caught that!

Looks like Digbeth has gridlocked and the stretch is all the way back to Moor Street Queensway.

Yeah i came back on 2212 and waited for almost half an hour next to the moor st station. Any reason why there is so much traffic?

The whole of the Perry Barr area was a shambles last night.

The underpass was shut, the turning from the a34 to the a453 was shut, and the a34/a4040 crossing had 4-way lights on it. Driving on the a34 towards Birmingham, the lights were only letting 5-6 vehicles through before changing. I was there at 0010 this morning and it took me about ten minutes to get through it.
