VERY Late running services

[Stu]

I expect some delays on services that use Dartmouth Circus where the A38 meets the M6 as it closed has been all morning. Towards the City it looks like

Aston Expressway is closed due to a 'police incident'. Google Maps indicates a 'road crash'.

Bus services are diverting via Lichfield Road.

1862 running 28 minutes late on the 39 with 1806 on time right behind it. Assuming there Roadworks on Willenhall Street not helping the 39

The vehicle that is operating the Wn 9 1510 Walsall to Wolves is running at least 20 mins late, probably later by the time it turns round to form the late running 1610 Wolves to Walsall.

Sister waiting in Wednesfield not happy.

Temporary three-way traffic lights at junction of Kyotts Lake Road causing peak-time delays to all Stratford Road services.

The Severn Trent works at the Erasmus Road junction are expected to continue until next Friday 5th July.

Delayed in Amblecote near the Stourbridge Town football ground on the way to Wollaston Farm it would appear.

The 74s were an absolute mess yesterday. 4969 had accumulated delays of over a ridiculous 1 hour and 30 minutes. Usually gets stuck very badly with the road works on Dudley Port, but something in Handsworth also delayed it badly. Honestly baffled why despite drivers insistence they have still not increased the running time

The A41 expressway was closed at the M5 j1 island yesterday so traffic was at a standstill, not really the fault of NX

There will be delays later to services In Witton due to diversions in place due to the Foo Fighters gig at Villa Park

Yeah I get that yesterday was exceptional but the continuous road works on Dudley Port can delay the 74 substantially and the running times should be temporarily updated to reflect this as drivers have raised. I'm not hating on NX, just criticising their sometimes slow to pull out the finger tendencies

Aren't they also doing Roadworks on Dudley Street near to Guns Village Metro Stop apparently it's Bridge Works. Meaning the 74 has to divert down the Black Country New Road to Great Bridge

6967 got to dudley ontime this evening but left 18 minutes late on 87 quite regular this is certain drivers always leave really late so they don't have to wait at timing points

[a4 funcool 2022]

4753 doing the 7 today to Dudley running 20 minutes late

[BBS]

7541 running 37 minutes late on 11C

Birchfield Road Outbound this evening is grid locked all the way back to Newtown Baths. Yet again there's buses stuck in snail pace traffic on the flyovers and underpasses because they stupidly aren't using the bus lanes. Not seen it this bad here since the Perry Barr roadworks.

Thankfully 6718 i'm on has a driver using his common sense and using the bus priority!
