Quote from: PB50 on January 10, 2024, 07:27:38 PMI gather you was on a 37. That road has been closed since before Christmas due to an unstable building after a fire.
It said Building Fire but I've also heard it was due to the Wind blowing the roof tiles off but that it has happened again as it was due to reopen

Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on January 10, 2024, 07:28:27 PM37 and it should be Lower Lichfield Street has been closed for a while due to an unsafe structure I'm sure it was either due to reopen this week but maybe delayed. He driver should have  continued along Sandbeds Road onto Clarks Road then onto Walsall Street then Middle Peice Way to normal line of route
He turned around and went on to the Wolverhampton Rd.  Followed a 529 for a short while.

If he got close to Morrisons, I'm surprised he didn't let the passengers off, to make their own way across?

How did he get to the Wolverhampton Road from there?

Did he go back to Sandbeds Road / Clarkes Lane & come into Willenhall that way, as per the diversion, or use a side street between Stringes Lane & Walsall St, as that is what my 326 did last Thursday, probably as it was a E200 instead of a Solo, which has been using Wood Street?

Interesting and highly unusual diversion in place at the moment due to what looks like some sort of accident / police incident on Lordswood Road close to Harborne Leisure Centre.

24s are currently diverting via War Lane and Fellows Lane to rejoin Court Oak Road. I did a double-take seeing 2 Platinums coming down Fellows Lane while another was waiting for them so it could travel up. I've seen a midi bus use that road before when the 636/19 etc have been on diversion in the past but never a double deck. 

Meanwhile 6139 had to do a 3 point turn of sorts at the Harborne Leisure Centre stop to avoid being caught up in the incident, and continue down War Lane.

It's a serious collision involving a pedestrian and a van. Thoughts are with those involved and injured. 

I'm surprised the 24s are still using Fellows Lane, I thought the diversion might have changed to Tennal Road. There's a school for special needs children on Fellows Lane and it's not easy to get through at school finishing time due to parking. My kids have just got home from their school and told me that Fellows Lane was at a standstill with four 24s trying to get through.

I must say that I also did a double take once I saw a 48 on California Way and going down West Boulevard!

I do hope all involved in the incident are okay.

Sadly a woman in her 80s has died.

It looks like the road may have only recently reopened after over 5 hours so a fatality seemed the inevitable outcome. Very sad indeed.
