Kent Road closed 1st-9th August, 241 diverted

Looked out the window this afternoon and the "Road ahead closed" signs were there. Had no idea about this prior to that!
Shame they couldn't have taken the diversion past my house!

Yes saw that on the NX website. Could of gone up Spies Lane then down one of the side roads (Can easily fit a bus down) instead of going all the way to Quinton

It looks as though its going on till the end of August in various phases, going to try the diversion out tomorrow. Hope to catch the WB 241 journey.

Thanks Nath, will catch it from Halesowen at 10:05, easier for me to get to Halesowen than Dudley. Might then get a 1 to Wolverhampton and then catch the famous 59 route for a ride to Ashmore Park and back! ;)

probably best that it goes up to quinton, it could have used victoria ave but with all the parked cars if something came the other way it might get a bit tight. Its a particularly bumpy road with a tight exit as well if i remember right. Next road up would be the one next to the chruch.

If i remember correctly remember it is been done in stages(Northbound Closed/Southbound Open) then Northbound Open/Southbound Closed then both Northbound/Southbound closed

Kent Road is a 5 minute walk from my house

An X51 to Birmingham (4685) was heading past Joseph Leckie school on the West Bromwich road at 4:30pm this evening in service with quite a few passengers on board must be quite a long diversion and is probably heading for the Bell pub to cut off some of the Birmingham Road?

A34 Walsall rd closed due to yet another recycling plant fire... Bus drivers appear to be making up the diversion as they go along, 51 came from Scott Arms and turned off down Beeches rd, 952 went down Church rd, X51 did a u-turn and is now on a magical mystery tour of Perry Beeches

They did all seem to be doing different diversions. I followed a 952 this morning shortly before 7am, going up along Church Road, then left onto Aldridge/College Road (away from Birmingham) before doing a pretty tight U-turn back towards Birmingham quite a distance up the road, but didn't see any other buses heading in the other direction.

Ahaa thats where the 51 came from this morning =D. I was on the 935 heading to Birmingham when I saw this, at first I thought the driver had the wrong destination on
