I'm not sure if this has been done before but I've certainly never seen it
X21/X22 actually have NSA for the diverted route. I mean it's a nice idea but most people won't flag them down anyway as they expect they won't be stopping.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Can anybody confirm something for me?
When on a diversion aren't all stops on the diversion route supposed to be used? And once a diversion route has been put in place isn't it supposed to be stuck to, and not for the driver to pick and choose which way he wants to go?
Just curious.

All of the Birmingham bound services in Perry Barr from the Aldridge Road have new stops on the Walsall Road at the Aldridge Road junction (opposite One Stop). Is this for the games or permanent? They're not using the slip road from Aldridge Rd onto the A34

These have been in use for a few weeks now.The slip road is for local & No11 services

Tony

If you use the slip road you cannot get into the underpass, hence why the 9xx services go around

Bus_user_jay

Thanks for that. Guess it's good though as they stop nearer to the One Stop

Incident at the top of Aston Church Road caused the diversions.I was on a diamond 94 to town & ended up down Alum Rock Road,what a nightmare road with both side parking leaving little passing room for buses

Whilst Saltley viaduct is closed, whilst most buses are following the official diversion there are a couple who can't be bothered (or at least can't be bothered to tell passengers) to do the Saltley loop. 
Most Diamond 94 are just using Aston Church Road without going down to the Gate, however one did appear out of Adderley Road to go up Washwood Heath Road.

There are a few more taking the Duddeston Mill Road/Adderley Road route, but there doesn't seem to be a posted diversion route for them.

Won't be NX going that way as they don't fit.
Most NX buses are doing Saltley Loop, a few NX buses yesterday were just turning into Aston Church Road as well, including 1 I caught as no one on it wanted to go down there. To be hoest I guess if they were running late, not doing it could probably save about 5 minutes. In the school time traffic down there was awful, so could be more like half an hour if it was long term.

I wonder if they will run a 94S shuttle bus to serve the loop connecting with the 94/95 at Washwood Heath when the bridge does close long term due to HS2. It was of course said 14 will likely use Adderley Road instead converting to single deckers, when that time comes.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.
