Diversions

[Ronnoc]

Stratford Road is back open today (more than one month late too late), felt quite relieved to finally see some buses down that end. I believe some temporary traffic lights are still there   , so we are not out of the woods just yet.

Yes, it was back to 'normal' this evening.

The road has only been partially opened, northbound side of the road still fenced off, and temporary traffic lights are in place. What seemed to have thrown many motorists round there is that Kyotts Lake Road has now been blocked off, hence why I saw lots of cars doing u-turns in the road and then ignoring the restriction on turning right into Henley Street.

And of course it was back to waiting ages for a 2 or 3 to arrive, only to sail straight past because it was full.

If it's that first one, I normally either see it or catch it in Leamore, but havent seen it.

Luckily a 31 turned up.

It was tracking as running too and left Cannock on time. It went off the map on bus times in Gt Wyrley

Dont recall that being flagged on Twitter!

Then again, it probably has the same problems Facebook has, and posts appear late!

Back to normal now.

Due to an incident in Selly Oak, the 76 is - according to NX West Midlands' social media team - currently on a very lengthy diversion "via Bristol"

There's no longer a right turn from Bristol Road into Harborne Lane so presumably buses had to continue up Bristol Road and make a u-turn at either Weoley Park Road or the gap in the central reservation before that (might be too tight for a bus to turn), then left down Harborne Lane.

Yes, it looks like - from Bus Times - that buses are turning by the junction with Lodge Hill Road.

Which makes more sense than continuing all the way down the A38 to Bristol!
