That caught me by surprise when I was on it earlier ! I believe Tile Cross Road is closed so the 71 is also diverted.

The 71 goes up and down Chelmsley Road follows 94 route to Fordbridge and the follows 55/55A anyway on normal route it only touches Tile Cross road from the island by the 17 terminus (Bell Lane St Giles Road Etc) I believe to Bosworth Drive where it turns right onto Bosworth Drive and left Solihull bound. Not sure if all of Tile Cross Road is closed currently @GeminiFan1991

Sounds like a bad accident by Wellhead Lane. Aldridge Road closed in both directions since before 8am, I've heard because of an unsafe lampost. Buses are using Church Lane and Walsall Road, absolutely chocka on Church Lane. I imagine its also affecting our morning run out from the garage

Closed from the lights with Wellhead Lane up to Holford Drive, just seen from the A34 bridge on the 997

Regrettably, not an unsafe lamp post.  :(

Sad news. The van hit the lamppost afterwards (it hit the bollards and the lampost in front of the black people carrier in the video). Terrible road for speeding, people think that its a dual carriageway further up, they can go 40 or even 50mph

Saw a 14 branded Trident with 14 Chelmsley Wood on the destination display on Stechford Lane going towards the Fox and Goose earlier at about 14:20. Does anyone know what it was doing and if it was diverted?

There was a march/demonstration down Alum Rock Road around that time. Road blocks were lifted shortly after that.

Thanks for the info.
It must have had the wrong destination on the destination display.

There is incorrect diversion information on the NXWM website app for the Harborne Lane diversion. It still says the 11A/C is diverted through the QE hospital in both directions whereas the 11C has been able to go the normal route for over getting on for two weeks. Same for the 48, could be confusing for passengers!

65 on diversion due to unplanned roadworks on Slade Road. From City is Gravelly Hill and Reservoir Road, and into City is Fentham Road and Gravelly Hill instead

101 & 11A/11C currently on diversion away from Winson Green Prison

Regrettably it was a Perry Barr driver going to work that got killed in this incident. R.I.P.
