Are the 55, 56, 94 and 70 diverted all day?
56 won't be as that is an evening bus only apart from sundays but the 72 will be affected somehow as well

Not sure if it's going to be in both directions, but the stop city bound on Washwood Heath Road, Saltley gate, has a notice saying it will be closed from 7pm tonight until 6am on 30th April. Passengers advised to use Alum Rock Road stops instead.
Whilst road works and/or resurfacing is unavoidable, it's very short notice.

Perhaps it's been badly written, but I'm under the impression its shut nightly 1900-0600 up until the end of the month, rather than completely shut until the end of April.

Maybe it just evenings? The website says work is not happening on Saturday and Sunday evenings, but the 56 is listed as being affected.
The sign on the bus stop makes it sound like it's closed inclusively, yet the website makes it sound like evenings only.

There's also something on the NX website about a diversion around the roundabout on Nechells parkway, and they're all diverted up Nechells Park Road and Aston Church Rd
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

As Washwood Heath Road is closed at Aston Church Road that would be a bit difficult plus there are road works on Aston Church Road anyway as half the road is up it would be a very tight turn to go down there or up there as well. I believe that is for the closure of Saltley Island for resurfacing even though it has already been done earlier this year or late last year. Looks like an old April Fool to me

There is no notice at the stop near Foley Road on the Washwood Heath Road (Towards the City Centre two stops after the a Fox And Goose.) Just passed that stop 5 minutes ago and there was 4 people waiting for a bus towards the City Centre, that won't turn up due to the diversion.

It's just buses between 19:00 and 06:00 the 55, 70 and 94 were all using the Washwood Heath Road today up until 7PM

As the notice at Saltley was attached with a tiny bit of cellotape, if there was one at all stops, they've probably all been ripped off!

Gravelly Hill North is shut heading into City so services are on diversion. NX are diverting via Wood End Rd, Bromford Lane (where they make a U-Turn) then following the 914 route to the Expressway. However Arriva are diverting via Reservoir Rd, Slade Rd and Lichfield Rd into City.

They've put one up now,
The notice makes it look as though its only the 94 thats diverted and its all day.
It say 94 services are diverted, nothing about the 55, 55A, 56 or, 70 though.

That is because the 55/A will be going up Burney Lane from Stechford Road then onto Alum Rock Road to Saltley Gate as they used to do about 8-9 years ago. As for the 56/70 because they are BC routes not PB maybe BC haven't as yet got around to putting signs up about their diversions could be very wrong of course & will get shafted about it but hey ho @2206

But the 55/55A are still diverted away from the Washwood Heath Road so it should include those routes as someone may think they can still get a 55 from that stop.

I agree totally unless on the 55/A there are diversion notices on them already stating the after 7pm diversions for the 2 routes

Someones ripped down some of the diversion notices on the Washwood Heath Road including those two stops.
Just bits of sellotape left where they were.
