Diversions

Is part of Hoggs Lane closed? Noticed two 18s on Bell Hill and a 61 on Frankley Beeches Road.

From 10th July until 8th September,  Bradmore Road Wolverhampton will be closed for water works. Service 4/714 will divert via Finchfield Road and Broad Lane in both directions.

Advance one for part of the day Saturday.

Pelsall Carnival is on, so services 8, 9 & Wct 25 will be on diversion.

Nx is using part of the Foundry Lane area to divert, not sure about the 25, but I suspect Ryders Hayes might be cut off.

As a ps to this, someone had the bright idea of posting notices on the 41 stand in Walsall Bus Station,  saying there might be delays due to events on the 8 service.

Presumably similar notices were posted on the 8 & 9 stops as well?

Yes i noticed that yesterday on the 41 stop but never took any notice when I went past the 8 stand.

Another advance notice.

87s divided up lower city rd Birmingham New rd due to roadworks by tividale park

Moss Grove, Kingswinford is expected to be closed completely near the Kingswinford Cross pub from 24th July to 1 September 2023 for gas works. This will cause NX services 15/15A/16 (and Diamond 17) to divert. The diversion I would think will be via Summer Hill (A4101) - no info is as yet on the TfWM website.

2 and 3 diverting towards Billesley only via Wake Green Road and Swanshurst Lane, due to Yardley Wood Road being partly blocked off.

Couldn't see much when I went past earlier, seems there'd been an accident. Should be cleared soon (if not already) as I could see recovery taking place.

Quite a hefty diversion, couldn't drivers cut through Pensnett Trading estate during weekdays to save a bit of milage, not servicing any stops on diversion and help timekeeping?

Quite a hefty diversion, couldn't drivers cut through Pensnett Trading estate during weekdays to save a bit of milage, not servicing any stops on diversion and help timekeeping?

The TfWM website has been changed today to say that the diversion is via Second Avenue (Pensnett Trading Estate) between 0700 and 1800 on Monday to Friday, and via Tansley Green Road outside of these hours.  The 15 and 16 services seem a bit more reliable this morning.  Yesterday, there were some major delays - for instance, my bus to Merry Hill was 21 minutes late when it picked me up at 1053 and I later saw 4839 and 4627 running along Bromley Lane towards Merry Hill together at 1208, the former being 36 minutes late.

Looks like the J10 slip road overnight diversion is still on, as the 529 I'm on, has had to do a complete 360 degree turn, heading back towards Walsall,  but turning into Bloxwich Lane & Bentley instead!
