Sewage leak.

I gather part of Broad Lane in Bloxwich is blocked due to roadworks(Looking at Bustimes.org earlier, appears no service on Turnberry as a consequence!).

The reason I flag this up, is both me & sister were waiting for a 9 in Bloxwich (she going to work in Wednesfield, me tagging along & carrying on to Wolverhampton!),the 920 arrival failed,  so we had to wait for the 950 arrival instead, making sister 10 minutes late for work), and there were elderly people waiting for an X51, which didn't serve the stop in Wolverhampton Road, going straight up the High Street and Stafford Road instead. 

I wasn't sure whether the X51 would serve the High Street stop instead (the 32 stop), so my sister advised them to go back to Elmore Row instead, as it would definitely serve that stop.

There was no notice at the Wolverhampton Road stop advising of the diversion though!

Have they sorted this out now?

Broad Lane is showing as closed from the Long Lane junction to Springhill Farm Feeds. My colleague had to get to Cheslyn Hay, and said he went up Broad Lane and it was open up to the Turnberry Road junction (he had to go down there and divert around a different way). They put the signs at the end of the road and didn't bother to indicate how far up it was closed at.

Dunno, as I haven't been up there for a few days, or checked Bustimes.

According to one.network the road is closed until 24th March 2023.

No, I very much doubt that. You didn't even see it just going off a tracker

Strange it never appeared, as we (& the other parties involved!) were there from approx 910am through to 950am!

It might have had to run back out of service or anything. Just because you automatically want to blame the driver. If you see the threads on the strike you will see drivers getting blamed for anything by passengers is one of their complaints. 6737 has just had two windows in the upper saloon kicked out by a group of youths on the way to Cannock, so will go back straight down the A34 on Bustimes (with no passengers on). It should have operated the 17:12 from Cannock.
