Diversions

[MasterPlan]

Changes to bus stops in Birmingham City Centre | NX Bus West Midlands
So the X21/X22 are moving to Park Street then and 61/63 finishing at New Street Station and will then pickup at MS8A then u turning at St Michaels Church.
With the Perry Barr services moving to the current X21/X22 stop and 66 moving to next to the 94/95.

Where is stop 'BT1' exactly? Maybe I'm being a bit thick, but it isn't really clear from how it's described what route it will take.

I hope this isn't the start of something in Bentley but due to Anti Social Behaviour earlier the 37 was diverted Wolverhampton Road to Churchill Aveune In both directions.

The old X61 stop by the millenium point.

Thanks. It's going to be slightly annoying as I usually get off at the terminus on Priory Queensway as it's perfect for connections with the 16/16A/74.

Unless I've read the Bustimes map wrong, looks like the 5's are going down Wigmore/Pennyhill Lane, near a Sandwell Council depot IIRC, but it has been a good 30 odd years since Ive been down that particular way.

(Bloke who I went to college with, decided to try & jump over a dip down there in a Vauxhall Chevette!)

If they are then that would cause them to be even more later as the M5 is/was closed at J1 due to a Police Led incident all the Traffic was being diverted down this way or down the Expressway through Moxley

I'm very well aware, it was up to drivers as some were using that route and the others through Pennyhill.

Saw 4932 and 6869 on the 63 use Cock Hill Lane to get in and out of Longbridge instead of using Callowbrook Lane and New Road. Nothing on the NX or TFWM websites about this as I know.

Bit of a late reply but I don't know why they was going that way because that would of caused more delays as they would of had to come to the m5 junction 1 island with the motorway being closed they should of gone up penny hill lane ect, oh well it's done and over with now. Other reason may be diamond don't want to risk the streetdecks with the low trees on water lane.

Diamond we sending there Deckers up Pennyhill. I rode 4714 myself and there was no issues, some 5's were going up there too. It was completely upto what the drivers decided...

And 529's are on yet another Bentley Diversion until Wednesday, why they couldn't just do all the work altogether, interestingly the 529 featured on a report about buses being publicly owned. Maybe if J10 wasn't still having work done and not been congested due to incidents on the M6 and M5 over the last few weeks it wouldn't be late.

New square West Bromwich closed due to police incident, buses are diverting down congregation way, Walsall street, bull street, West Bromwich Ringway and then into the bus station. 

Services affected,

4, 4M, 5, 40

Are the express Perry Barr services going under Lancaster circus Queensway? I wonder why the stops have been moved when the  X21/22 are still using moor street Queensway anyway.
