VERY Late running services

[PB2938]

Times at BUS stops are just estimates not timing points.

I was waiting for the 0912 at Tesco. RUNNING 10 MINUTES EARLY is not acceptable under any circumstances.  Just as well I had not got an appointment.

Where do you suggest the driver waits time after Springhill Lane?

[Rachvince53]

Slightly early or late means 5 minutes to me, not 10.  Perhaps the next time your waiting for a bus which has left the stop early you'll remember that.

They only wait at timing points on the 95 for instance thats terminus, fox and goose, hurst lane I think. Not any odd stop.
Maybe you should allow more time to get to your appointments to instead of blaming something else.

7517 X1 running almost 30 minutes late due to a broken down car on the Coventry Road by the Cargo Terminal. Traffic going back to just before the Arden Oak. Most X1s running with a 15 min plus delay.

Just a heads up from Monday King st Dudley will be shut one way for metro works buses from top church area will have to go Stafford street the inheadge and into Dudley bus station past the town hall and market

No 15:57 or 16:17 4H from Walsall to Hayley green. That combined with 2 diamond no shows has caused people to be waiting over 40 mins. And no there is no traffic disruption on route just a lack of drivers evidently

Since when is it acceptable to leave the terminus 7 mins early. 6880 the culprit this evening. Combined with the next bus not showing up at all, another evening of lovely 'service'.

6880 hasn't left 7 minutes early on any trip, Bustimes will confirm that. So no idea what you are on about

I have edited my previous post as for some reason it wouldn't let me upload the screenshot previously.

As the tracking for that 17:00 journey appears to show it spent 20 minutes on Moor Street Queensway and then another odd 15 mins in the University area. Maybe a problem with the vehicle or something?

Looks like it was caught in heavy traffic

The other X21/X22 journeys around that time don't seem to have experienced delays at that length.

This one left later and got to University Station 15 minutes before it appears.

 Vehicle problem would probably explain why that journey didn't run correctly.
I remember a couple of months ago an arriva E400 cut out and wouldn't restart  in the Sutton Parade, bringing the town centre to a halt for a short time until they got it moving again for instance. But these things do happen.

That hasn't left 7 mins early, the time shown in the actual time column just shows that the bus is there at that stop.at that time, it doesn't mean its departed that stop yet.

Due to an overturned lorry on the M6 and subsequent closure south of J10, service 529 is being significantly delayed as traffic diverts through Walsall and Wolverhampton.
