4886 is out for the first time this afternoon since repaint on the 14

I assume 4874 is also back on the road and tracking on the 95

[Tony]

It's another of the buses that hasn't tracked for a year that's had its tracking sorted while it received floor repairs

presuming late night 60s are chaos due to the ramadan markets on coventry road... 

tonight no 60 is under 30 minutes late, a shame as this is not how ramadan is meant to be observed by disrupting the community and littering the area.

this markets should be for eid, a planned celebration date where ramadan is for prayer instead, and they actually divert the 60 on this date....

the people at coventry rd during the night hv no regard for cars and they dont have enough space, let alone a big wide bus

i bet the new drivers are chucked onto the 60

the bus drivers on the roster could get off the bus and buy some food and the stupidly parked taxi wont even have moved

Late night 60s are apart of the bromford rota (X2/X12/X13), but normally new drivers are placed where there is a low amount of drivers on routes. I went onto the 94/95 when I started :).

Here comes the biased guy, Ramadan and Eid forecasts more traffic and congestion around areas where ethic minorities originate, it's just how it is. I think your just letting your hate of for this event, littering for nothing to do for how the 60s operated

They had extra peak journeys (X2/X21/X22?) and the Blues 1875 service which might be where the requirement came from, they have three of YW's electrics as well. I guess five transfers from YW will free these up.

7534-7538 adds up well, although it's 4

Right but the same argument can be raised for Christians and Christmas or any religious events for example in Wolverhampton I forgot the religion but they do a Street Parade the 529 is one of the routed affected and it is diverted and can be Late. It is a case of because the main route is closed or blocked Traffic will go down another route where the bus is also going and that gets congested. It once took me around Christmas 10/15 minutes to get from Wolverhampton Market to the bus station on a bus. I had missed the 79 I wanted to get but due to traffic it hadn't gone very far and I made the next one. Naturally when there is a religious occasion or big event on Concert, Football Match, People wanting to visit a new shop, famous person visiting the roads become congested as they can't handle the volume of traffic.
