Diversions

I'm guessing they've realised that operationally PQ12A was a stupid idea when there's a queue of 94&95s all trying to unload/load and change drivers

Should never of moved the 66 anyway! Again more amazing thinking!

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.

Is the reason the X21/X22 moving stops because of too many buses at MS8A with the 61/63? Because I'm pretty sure the 16/16A/82/87 that used to stop there accounts for more buses.

Heard it over the Radio whilst on the 34 36 and 39 are unable to serve The Manor Hospital due to a broken down Veichle. This may have cleared by now

I can't see how putting the 66 on the new 65/67 stop is a good idea either when 65/67's and at times the 68/X64 always seem to be parked there waiting time and loading/unloading. And there seems to be even less space than at PQ12A.
Wonder if something using SQ7/SQ8 on Colmore Circus would be a good idea?

The 66 shared that stop with them with no issues at all. Was a silly choice moving it.

The 65/67 moved down to the new stop.
The 33/51 use the old 65/67 one.

Caught X51 from Wardles Lane in landywood this morning as normal but coming home had to get off on walsall road due to a diversion. Nx site says its going down a34 and hilton lane but the bus i was on just simply went straight down A34. Have to catch it to brum tomorrow, are outbound cannock to brum journeys serving quinton/wardles lane still?

Unfortunately that is unknown. An Inspector posted this this morning

" Due to unplanned roadworks on Holly Lane, Great Wyrley the X51 is currently diverted in both directions, using Walsall Rd. The works are due to be completed by 4pm today."

But when  or highways guy started chasing up what was happening and this is his post.



I am currently chasing this up with Staffordshire Council as no information has been sent out for this closure but according to one.network the road will be closed until 08/05/24!

Advance warning Sunday 5th may 
Major disruption to Birmingham services due to a bike ride 
All Hagley road services going in via Bristol road then tunnels to get Charles st to snow hill 
Out via old square then Lancaster Gate then tunnels to Bristol road 
So good chance for some photo of buses off route or a ride through the tunnels

I always wondered if deckers could fit in the tunnels...

There's no height limit signs on the tunnels.

Years ago one iteration of the Bristol Road limited stop service (64 or 964 possibly?) used to use the tunnels inbound to St Chad's circus from Bristol Street. This was double-deck operated, before the days of the X62/X64.

Rather helpfully, the page on the TfWM website with the details is telling viewers to get the diversion details from the Disruptions webpage, but there are no diversion details shown at present!
