VERY Late running services

[Westy]

Seems to me unless you know where buses are likely to turn round early, you've got no chance!

[Bartosz]

The 80 buses are getting very late.

A lot of buses will be running very late, looks like the city centre was jammed up again this evening.

The 2 I got home this evening appeared to turn up on time, but was actually 40 minutes late, no wonder it was rammed full, luckily it was a double deck!

A car had an oopsie in one of the tunnels.

City centre completely gridlocked again. Harborne services from city were completely shafted, it looks like Hagley Road routes might have been too. Lots of buses stuck for ages around Paradise Circus and Great Charles Street. By around 17.30 there must have been in the region of 70+ people waiting at the Centenary Square stop.

The city centre is a joke lately. The whole infrastructure is such that one incident in one place causes devastation on most key routes out of the city. I don't know why they're even contemplating cross city routes.

EDIT: and what kind of an a***hole is driving fast enough to overturn in a collision in one of those tunnels.

Exactly, cars do not 'mysteriously' flip over onto their roof, unless they are being driven badly at high speed.

Although it may not be the car that's on its roof that was being driven like an idiot, it could be a car that's hit it.

That is true, but either way, one person's idiotic actions have caused misery and disruption for thousands of others.

Temporary lights in Ward End causing the 94/95 to lose time the last few days. Takes 10 minutes to get through on average.

I think you need to find an alternative route home, as you'll be waiting a while.

4493 is scheduled to operate the 18:45 journey from Solihull, but is currently showing as 76 minutes late.

Wonder what happened there then?

According to Bustimes, it started early on.

(Sister has now rushed out for the delayed 1310 to Wolves, to link up at Bloxwich with it!)

Good job, it wasnt interworking.

Not a good start.
