The island where the Zoo end of the Duncan Edwards Way in Dudley is (its the next junction from Burnt Tree Island Interchange on the 74/87/126).

Quite a convenient turn around point without having to go into Dudley to turn when being amended to run as a short.

I think previously Burnt Tree Island would have been used as a short turn, before they turned into lights.

Would I be correct in thinking the Castle Gate 'pick up point' is by the Dudley KFC?

I would assume so for any buses starting there, yes.

Plenty of 4E and 6E to Bull Ring Markets this evening.

Looks like something happened in city centre as Moor Street Queensway reported to be heavily congested, clearing now.

The photo shows the initial cause, but the delays are caused by idiot Uber drivers just going around in circles, Moor Street, Carrs Lane, High Street, Dale End, Albert Street, Moor Street because some of them are to thick to realise the way out is to carry on down Dale End under the bridge, buses that arrived at 10:30 this morning didn't move for 70 minutes this morning because the whole loop was full of Uber idiots, presumably the same is happening tonight. I watched several going round at 16:00 when I went to catch my train
