VERY Late running services

[MW]

Lots of angry passengers in Solihull this evening waiting for the 4A.

Looking at bustimes, as far as I can tell there were no 4As from Solihull after the 15:13 departure. That's 10 journeys after the 15:13 until the last one at 19:18.

Plenty of Not In Service buses around too, all Acocks Green based. Are they going on strike early?

i checked the 4/4A at lunchtime ironically and there were 6 on the 4 and 3 on the 4A

Today was manic eastwards from town this evening. So much traffic and practically every bus was rammed heading out of town.
If there was ever justification for increased government spending for transport, this is it. Second city of the UK, absolutely piss poor public transport, unacceptable.

6926 just left Stourbridge 22 minutes late on 9 this is unusual its usually ontime on Sundays

It's Eid. Large amount of drivers probably not in today.

Very long delays on M6 northbound between M5 and M54 due to earlier accident. AA says journey times of 88 minutes are possible. This will impact on local roads as traffic tries to find alternative routes.

Unsure why 1888 is running up to 8 minutes early on the 4H. Makes a change from the usual late running I suppose. Left West Brom 7 early

I was on 1835 earlier and the driver was leaving his timing points about 2 minutes early I thought your only meant to leave 1 minutes early

Any reason for this @Tony noticed on his return trip to Walsall other than leaving Hayley green 4 minutes early he kept ontime to walsall

You are not allowed to leave any timing point early by any margin or so I have been instructed by my garage so when I roll up to my timing points I aim to leave exactly as the clock rolls over to the time specified on my running board and ticket machine

21:00 X1 from Coventry has failed to run. Joke.

Brownhills high street has a one way system due to roadworks so any service through brownhills is 30 mins late today
