Diversions

[Stuharris 6360]

Just received an email to say the 99 is diverted due to......


Due to a burst sewer pipe on Pitman road at the junction of Hopedale road, Severn trent water have closed the road.

I don't think I would want to go anywhere near there!

Sorry @Tony but can't resist it.   No Shit or maybe plenty of it!

51 and X51 into Birmingham are currently on diversion between the Bell Inn and Scott Arms due to a RTA. Buses are turning right just before the Bell Inn, following the road down to the 4 route, turning left onto the 4 route, going via Stone Cross to Newton Road and then following the Newton Road to Scott Arms. Then it's normal line of route.

Thought the Walstead Road had a weight limit?

Pretty sure school buses go over it every day

It does. 18T which is well above the weight of a bus

I believe that Midland Red North once ran a 30 minute frequency "Midland Express" X1 service along this road 1986/87.
X1: Hourly from Cannock via Lower Farm (Selmans HIll), Bloxwich then Beecdale with extra hourly servce from Beechdale, via Walsall, Pleck Road and Delves to Birmingham (joint 30 mins frequency).

Nowadays Arriva wouldnt give a xxxx about that sort of route!

Looks like the ALum rock rd is shut by the school Ward End part, another car crash.

Is the AG5 on diversion ?

I ask as I was on the 1 heading to Acocks Green and as the bus was going onto Shaftmoor Lane, I saw a 5 heading inbound (Were you would normally see the 6)  despite the fact they normally go off and onto Springfield Road. The 1 was operating as normal.

The 55/A, 72 and 966 were on diversion today.

From City side of Sutton New Road, Erdington closed all morning, looks a fatal incident. Gravilly Hill queuing back onto the Expressway and from Wilton Market heading up to Six Ways, gridlocked all around the island. Usual Kingsbury Road/Holly Lane diversion applies to Sutton buses. 28s using Station Road and 66 using Summer Lane.

At about 15:30 today the 11C was diverted, Lordswood Road, Hagley Road, Barnsley Road, Sandon Road, normal line of route.

Also saw a B7RLE on the 98 on Islington Row Middleway and Bristol Street towards the City Centre at about 12:55 today. Was it diverted?

It says about the 39 and 79 diversion in Bilston due to the Armsitce Day Parade but it shouldn't it mention Moxley and Darlaston as I have been to both of these services and they both have a parade.
