Yes Bromford Lane, Tony said the diversion was Bromford Lane, ST Margarets Road, Washwood Heath Road, Stechford Lane in the AG thread.

police has closed the Bromford Lane by ST Margarates Road for 11C only.

Diversion as : right ST Margarated Road left Washwood Heath Road right Bromford Lane normal line of route.

I am surprised a DD or any bus was able to go down St Margaret's Road as it narrows quite around the area before the Old Barley Mow.  Also the turn from there onto Washwood Heath Road looks quite tight for buses turning into and out of there due to all the parked cars along the shops on Washwood Heath Road

Got past the area just before Barley Mow Close easily.
Quite surprising a bus went down ST Margaret's Road though. Its never happened before.

I've taken a bus down (or up) Weston Lane before at school time. Weston Lane is the road off Warwick Road going up to Reddings Lane. Good shortcut to get to AG. Up Weston Lane, right on Reddings Lane, left on Olton Boulevard West and straight down. Very tight gaps but it was fun

Not on Sunday service

What about on Saturday Service like today and Dartmouth Street is still closed

[uniquicity]

Its still closed. 74A will be on diversion in both directions. Hourly Central Buses service.

Yep Still Closed although judging from an Article I just read about it it could be open or open in a few hours do you know where the 74A is being diverted

[uniquicity]

Nope, but there are a couple of things it could do. Maybe @Central Buses could confirm..

[BusFan94]

What's the couple of options it could do

Bus stops in the city centre have scrolling messages about the Evening Washwood Heath Road roadworks. Says buses are diverted via Alum Rock Road.
In reality the buses are diverted along Drews Lane and Bromford Lane. Giving incorrect diversion information, especially such a large one is totally unacceptable. Who is to be contacted about rectifying this error?

NWMs website says buses are being diverted via Alum Rock Road and passengers should board or alight at the Service 14 bus stops on Alum Rock Road as well.

Looks like TfWM have confused the two diversions. It is being diverted via Alum Rock Road from the 16th January when they resurface between Highfield Road and Drews Lane
