X2 diverting down Hobs Moat Road instead of Old Lode Lane due to Roadworks at Olton Tavern island

The 11A & C are on diversion overnight in Handsworth as Rookery Road is shut from 1900 to 0500 for the next couple of weeks. Not certain,  but I imagine they will divert up Grove Lane to Church Lane island then NLR from there. Gonna be a noisy couple of weeks for us!
Watching the 24's go driving by...

529 on diversion again via Bentley again for a couple of nights, as Wolverhampton Road is shut,  while they do bits to J10 again.

12/12A on diversion again cutting out all of Langley and going straight down Tat Bank Rd, bit unfortunate as it just leaves residents of Langley Village with the hourly 22 from Oldbury to Bearwood.

My locals 12, 12A, 13, 22, 126, and the sixes every weekend :)

51 and X51 inbound are diverting via Queslett Road, Aldridge Road and Beeches Road up to Walsall Road. Not sure why.

X1 diverting due to a fire on Coventry Road by Glencroft Road.

It's going Hobbs Moat Road, Lode Lane, Rowood Drive then Damson Lane /Damson Parkway

Service 529 on it's usual Bentley diversion, when there's no access to Junction 10 M6, due to a burst water main on the bus only section of Wolverhampton Road. 

Presumably a contractor has gone through a pipe?

A Crazy diversion on the Coventry 24 service this week, well now two diversions currently resulting in it going past the junction of the A45 and St Martins Rd three times on an 'outbound' journey and a rather long approx. 35 minutes between the first and third time.

Diversion in Leamore overnight 7pm to 6am this week, as the section of Bloxwich Road / High Street from Leamore shops up to Asda is resurfaced, so buses are diverted Somerfield Road & Leamore Lane via the KFC, back to Leamore shops.

Affects 31, 32 & x51.

Does anybody know where I can find info about Commonwealth Games diversions? I saw a sign yesterday that said Edgbaston Park Road is closed from 19th July - 11th August but I can't see anything about it online.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

MasterPlan

Well they've been released now and a larger diversion than I thought it'd be on X21 and X22. In addition to not serving Edgbaston Park Road, they won't be serving Arthur Road or Wheeleys Road at all either. 

Hope there's gonna be some information at bus stops along the affected roads as it's not like its just going to be a few days.

The map for the X21/22 diversion in that link also shows something different (via Richmond Hill Rd) to the route description (via Somerset Rd, Metchley Lane, Green Man, Harborne Rd)

Will buses still be serving Upper Dean Street for Smithfields do we know?

And so we know when diversions for the Cycling Time Trials will be announced as quite a few routes will be affected in Wolves + Dudley (Such as the 1, 2, 8, 15, 16, 17, 27 etc)

Yes, you're right. The route shown on the map is likely to be correct though I'd have thought.

Ironically, it looks like the 1 will be serving Arthur Road and Wheeleys Road instead.
