Diversions

[Tony]

any reason why the 00:25 80 towards West Brom not go up City Road this evening?

Because it's shut

[2206]

Jennens Road was closed into City earlier.
My bus 4902 went right onto Dartmouth Middleway upto Dartmouth Circus, left at the Island onto Aston Street, Corporation Street, James Watt Queensway.

The 66 infront had come left onto Jennens Road, left onto the ring road.

There were also several 94/95, 14 X12/X13s queuing in the traffic on Woodcock Street, Holt Street.
14 was using Lawley Middleway to City instead of Cardigan Street.

Makes sense then. I saw a 23 outbound on Quinton Road whilst on the X22.

The 4/4A diverted via Formans road, Reddings lane and battery way due to a issue on a bus on Warwick road

All over the news that one, hope people are as ok as they can be.

It's a real big shame what's happened, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved and the driver who had to witness it too.

Fallen tree on Brook Lane blocking the road. 11A/C diverting via Barn Lane and Wheelers Lane.

Both buses on the Stagecoach 169 are stuck there.

I'm not sure where about on Leabrook Road it happened but a Tree blew down blocking the road so I'm sure the 11/11A were diverted haven't seen it mentioned but there was a big Evergreen/Fir Type Tree blocking the road, 47 would have also been on diversion as there as a Tree blocking Hydes Road outside Wodensborough again not mentioned, I believe Hydes Road is cleared now, Leabrook was about to cleated the crane was ready to pick the Tree up

[Stu]

Service 50 is on double diversion due to closure of Kings Heath high street where Poundland lost its windows, plus a fallen tree on Alcester Road South near Cocks Moor Woods leisure centre.

A number of buses, both Diamond and NXWM, are presently stuck at both locations unable to proceed in service.

23 on diversion this evening due presumably to an incident on California Way or Northfield Road Harborne. Diversion via West Boulevard, Tennal Lane, Tennal Road to War Lane. Also saw a 50 branded bus on the 76 come down Tennal Road and hour or so ago so that looks like it's on diversion too.

EDIT - diversion still being followed today so more likely roadworks than an incident. X22 following same diversion as the 76.

Still going on now just experienced this on the 76. Wish I'd checked here earlier I'd have left sooner! Delays on all of these routes and X21.

Just seen 3 76 going to Northfield along Quinton Road.

If it is roadworks how long will this be on for?

Buses look to be back to their normal lines of route now
