Diversions

[Stu]

I'm afraid the Causeway One.Network website, which has a map showing roadworks, reckons the Stratford Road closure will be until 1600 on 23 September.

Thanks for cheering me up!

I've started walking to/from Sparkhill Job Centre to get to and from work, as the 15 minute walk is quicker than sitting in traffic on the 2 or 3.

Last few mornings it is taking buses half an hour to get from the Job Centre to Camp Hill. I checked on Bus Times this morning, I walked up Stratford Road and was in work, while the bus on the 3 I got off was still on Highgate Road.

Haden Circus is an absolute nightmare, and could really do with some part-time signals at peak times to help traffic flow a bit smoother.

I sympathise.  I've done the diversion once, on a 6 in August, and that took a long time.  I'm lucky that I don't have to do do it every day.

Every time a major road is closed, buses always seem to suffer the most.  What can be done?

Answers on a postcard to the West Midlands Mayor I suppose.

Most annoying bit being stuck on golden hillock road for over 30 minutes!

Had an email from TfWM today informing me that the Stratford Road closure is now extended to Monday 30th September!
