Diversions

Stabbing in Bull Street last night. SFA on NXWM website.

Perry Barr and Sutton services using Carrs Lane, Dale and and Albert Street loading at the stop there. Left onto Moor Street and up The Priory Queensway to Old Square. Albert Street looking very chaotic at times

Had to loop round twice this morning as I was 6 mins early. A 110 had to get reversed out, tried to flag him down before he turned into Albert Street with no luck. The 2 inspectors backed him up and turned him around

Think the Driving Staff and the Supervisors deserve a pat on the back for keeping the Services running, in the circumstances.

Edgbaston Park Road appears to be closed off outbound causing diversions and traffiic chaos.

Almost 2 collisions, but luckily the drivers stepped on the brakes just in time.

Some kind of police incident on Stoney Lane in Sparkhill this evening. The 2 I was on was on Highgate Road, waiting to turn left onto Stoney Lane, I could only part-hear the conversation he was having with the driver in the opposite direction, sounded like he was advising him to go down Ladypool Road and then 'turn right just past A1 Motor Spares' (presumably go down Brunswick Road back onto Stoney Lane), "its a bit tight but I think you'll make it" were his words! Our driver had different ideas though, and sensibly (in my opinion) turned up Mole Street back onto Stratford Road and then followed the 5 route along Court Road and Showell Green Lane (just like the old days then  8) )

I couldn't see what the incident was that had stopped the traffic, but a few minutes before I got on the 2 at Auckland Road an unmarked grey police car had raced down the Stratford Road with its blue lights flashing, and I'm sure I could see that on Stoney Lane right by an E200 MMC just past the job centre, don't know if the bus was involved or if it was just stuck.

Newtown services coming down Priory Queensway..

My 16 into City, along with Snow Hill services, were diverted down St. Chads Queensway - Colmore Row services went back onto themselves at the island, following the 110 route to the Post & Mail..

Currently on a 16 back towards Hamstead, and it's headed down Printing House Street, and back onto St Chads, then normal line of route..

Couldn't the Colmore services do a U-turn, like the Harborne service had done before, to access Colmore Row?

Accident down Chipperfield Road, apparently

Accident down Chipperfield Road, apparently

Actually it was a car broken down right at the Coleshill Road Junction with the RAC in attendance, caused issues for cars turning left as the car was on the right turn side @CL. Had to negotiate around it myself right nuisance the car could of been rolled back away from the junction to ease the problem

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. The "accident on Chipperfield Road" was what the driver told passengers.
