Why do I get the feeling the 9 is going to end up diverting via Stourbridge Junction?

Would a Platinum be able to turn right at Oldswinford Cross because you can't use Red Hill as that is closed for road works as well!!

Diamond are using Stepping Stones as a diversion for 228, 251 and 298, is this the first time Stepping Stones has been used as a diversion I wonder?

Interesting to note that there is no reference on either Nx or TfWm sites regarding closure of Pooles Lane in New Invention, affecting both the 41 & 69!

In short, after reaching Short Heath shops, services are being diverted via Willenhall Lane, Dudleys Fields Estate & Sneyd Lane onto New Invention.

One question I will ask, how is the 41 serving the Poets Estate,  because it looks like either serving in the opposite direction to normal,  or looping one way?

(Talking of the 69, there was some overrunning roadworks in Beechdale mentioned on TfWm site, but since when has Cavendish Road been in Wolverhampton?)

RTC at St Chads; police in attendance - no diversion route mentioned on twitter yet

I did pass an Enviro with '13 to Birmingham' along Constitution Hill (near the Texaco)

On the 3 this morning, just before 8:30am, Stoney Lane was in the process of being closed off for roadworks.

There was nothing on the NWM Disruptions page when I checked, and the drivers didn't seem aware of any road closure either.

Presumably nothing had been communicated to bus operators about this!

Luckily we were able to continue up to Highgate Road, otherwise that bus would have got stuck!

1/1A diverting via Kings Heath High St due to something that's happened on Wake Green Road. I got off at Kings Heath so not sure where it goes after that but I assume it'll follow the 11 to Acocks Green.

2 & 3 also diverted and not serving Stoney Lane

Outbound trips seem to be:
Straight along Stratford Road, turning onto Springfield Road, onto Wake Green Road, then Swanhurst Lane, and back to normal route.

I'll assume inbound trips towards City are the inverse as that mentioned above

The 49 was on a diversion earlier because of a reported accident on Haslucks Green Road. Was following the 2 along Yardley Wood Road down to the island and then along School Road, Highfield Road, Robin Hood Lane, Stratford Road and then back on normal line of route in Shirley.

Wake Green Road / Yardley Wood Road junction was closed for several hours following a serious road accident:

More lazy "journalism" from the BM though:

A number of bus services, including the 1A, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 49, were diverted around the crash site and drivers were warned of congestion.

14 was diverting via Fox & Goose earlier at about midday.
Towards City Centre: Station Road, Stechford Lane, Waswhwood Heath Road, Alum Rock Road
Towards Chelmsley  : Alum Rock Road, Washwood Heath Road, U turn, Washwood Heath Road, Stechford Lane and Station Road.

And 28/28A would also have diverted towards Fox & Goose to miss out Burney Lane.

Services 23/24, x20/1/2, 61,63, 80A & 82/87 all in diversion in city due to a police incident on Holloway Circus Island.
