Diversions

Heard over the radio of 1849 on the 37 
Diversion in place due to an incident on Charles Street in Willenhall 
Middle Peice Way, Walsall Street, Walsall Road, Clarkes Lane 

[Westy]

Incident late last night in Bloxwich, that caused the 31 & 32 to be diverted via Elmore Green Road, missing out the High Street, according to Bustimes.

Looks like the other Bloxwich services were able to serve normal route.

According to Facebook, it appears to be a fatal stabbing.

Is the diversion still happening now?

Got the impression from Bustimes things were back to normal.

I've got to go up in a bit. Might have a look.

Also 'our mate' Eddie Hughes has Facebooked as well!

I caught 4928 from the "The Ward End" 28 stop this morning. On the 95 to the City.
I got to my stop and when I checked bus times saw the 94/95 I was waiting for was on the Alum Rock Road, so walked down St Josephs Road and got 4928 from there.

Was Diverting to City: Left onto Alum Rock Road where the 28 turns off at the fox and goose, Highfield Road, Washwood Heath Road
And From City: Highfield Road, Alum Rock Road, Sladefield Road, right back onto Washwood Heath Road.

Because there was a parade this morning from the mosque in Caldmore to the one in Pleck buses were on diversion. My friend was on the 45 diamond bus coming from Bescot stadium and the driver turned left past Morrisons then right and carried straight on down Pleck Rd past the Manor Hospital then past the fire station then past Walsall college then past the Morrisons in Walsall to go straight across the top of the market by Asda down to the mini island then down Bradford St in to the bus station. Surely he could have found a quicker way 🤣🤣

Right at Morrisons, along the Broadway to Birmingham Road, Ablewell Street, the one way by Asda, then as you said?

(Is this the same parade, that a few years ago, saw a 529 on the pedestrinised Bridge in Walsall TC, well off route?)

Think they were going from the Temple Vishaki Parade I think.

Also if a StreetLite can fit under the Walsall Train Station Bridge he have turned off by the Manor and followed the 39 down Bridgeman Street into Bradford Place. Omnilinks can get under there. That's the only I can think of that wouldn't be affected by the parade. Not sure which way the NX Services were diverting but Bridgeman Street would have been OK if Omnilinks were being used but NX use B7's on Sunday on the 34/37 and I assume the 4's Although NX have put a B7 on the 39 before so if they were going that way he could have followed

What is the point in moving the 93* a whole stop down? Nothing wrong with those stops as it is.

Great. MS10 is worse than MS8A.

Two questions. Will the X21/X22 still atop at NS1 along with the 23/24/82/87, and where will they turn around after stopping at MS10? Up round Old Square and back? Is there really any difference between that and what it's doing now.
