Diversions

[MW]

That's what caught me out, I could have sworn it was clear this morning and there weren't any signs up, must be emergency works or something like that!

Yeah emergency Severn Trent works.

The one-way diversion through Acocks Green was still in place this morning, despite supposedly having been completed last night, that caught me out!

Back in operation this evening!

Not sure if it's still in operation at the moment, but this morning the 14 was diverted along Highfield Road and along Washwood Heath Road as far as the Fox and Goose in both directions. An incident in Alum Rock.
NX twitter says to Birmingham is via Sladefield Road, yet I've seen a few buses at least use Highfield. Road. Sladefield is quite narrow though for buses.

The Sladefield Road bit I believe is the island at the old Pelham Public House now Lidl as Sladefield Road comes out onto Alum Rock Road at that island although I could be wrong of course

[Gareth]

You haven't been passed there for a while! Lidl closed down a couple of years ago!

By around 4pm this afternoon, despite the bottom end of Alum Rock road being fairly quiet, 14s were spotted turning up Washwood Heath Road at The Gate.

There has been an accident on Lichfield Rd bridge on the approach to Wednesfield High St (Neachells Lane junction). The 59 i'm on has gone from Wednesfield High St (towards Ashmore Park) right onto Neachells Lane, Left onto March End Rd, Left onto Lakefield Rd then onto Lichfield Rd then NLR.

Wellington Road seems to be closed in Handsworth, 11s on diversion via Wood Lane by the looks of it

[Nxwm]

Penns lane closed for the next 3 weeks wonder which way the 115 and 838 will go???

From The Yenton, down Chester Road to The Bagot, then the 914 route to Walmley. The opposite for the reverse.

Emergency roadworks, so no-one knew until a radio call went out

[Nxwm]

I just seen it as I was walking past penns lane

[Gareth]

There was an 82 and an 87 leaving city centre via lower Bull Street and Corporation Street earlier this afternoon. Not sure why. Dale End, Moor Street and Albert Street all seemed open as normal as other vehicles were using them. No heavy traffic either.

@Gareth it's the new route that it does

[Gareth]

Did that only start yesterday or today then? I didn't realise it was re routed again.

[Justin Tyme]

Yes - it was announced at very short notice ...

... but a good idea to get them out of Dale End and Albert Street.
