It's running late I'm on it now, I would know, on bus times it says 146 mins late. When I can see the ticket machine I'll correct myself

I think there is a tracking issue with that as it left Coventry on time at 0849 and got into Birmingham at 1004 on time then mysteriously left as an 0825 back to Coventry making it's very late

Correct, 146 minutes is basically a round trip, so just incorrect data

Don't believe everything you see & read on Bustimes & Facebook!

there is a chance that the ticket machine thinks its on a previous trip

Don't know about late running, but an hour ago I was on 6767, & the driver's machine was showing about 60 to 80 mins early!

The display was showing an arrival of 806 somewhere on the 529 route.

Bit of 'finger trouble' again by a driver, as I mentioned one last week on the Wolves thread?

Nothing to do with the driver, he doesn't set the journey

So how does the 'problem' happen then?

As per normal the 97 route is very delayed leaving city due to blues playing at home. The day the 97 gets a football day is the day the route become just slightly more reliable. 

It's take 20 minutes to do 0.2 miles...

Not sure how to add images on phone, bus would of added a screenshot to show how many 97s are in a short area.

I bet Birmingham was a right mess this afternoon with West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham city both being at home, a lot of fans from both teams head into city, also would of been a bit of conflict, bet Birmingham city centre was chaos.

That happens every time you do realise Albion and Blues are at home on the same day as each other as they can't play when Wolves and Villa are at home. Next Week Wolves are at home Albion and Blues are away. Obviously if it was the FA Cup it would be split. But this happens all the time. Most of the fans aren't driving into the city centre there getting the trains, bus or Tram or Walking to the Blues Ground.

Yes I know, that's why i said I bet it was chaos I know they both playing.

It really makes no difference that they both play on the same day. They have done so for the last 50 years.

West Bromwich playing at home causes traffic problems around Junction 1 of the M5 and the trams to be overful. Birmingham playing at home causes traffic problems around Small Heath and inner ring road. There's no real connection betwenn the two and the same problems occur if one plays or both

Yeah exactly has happened for many years. It really isn't much of an issue by now.
