Quote from: Mike K on May 22, 2024, 06:03:41 PMSerious looking incident ongoing on Northfield Road, Harborne, at the moment with a 23/24 branded bus on the 23 (6876 I think) either involved or caught up in what's happened.

The road has been blocked off by police and the bus has been there for over an hour with its hazard lights on. Numerous police vehicles in attendance and posts on Facebook suggest there are armed police at the scene.

EDIT - the posts about armed police are total bullshit apparently. I've been told it was a collision between the bus and a car.

Buses behind were diverting via Tennal Road and West Boulevard to California.


Bus not involved and has finally escaped!

So what was posted on Facebook was correct. Well I guess being caught in an armed roadblock is a valid reason for late running.

According to the article, the Met police said there were no injuries. Presumably TfL will investigate why the driver of the overheight vehicle turned right.
