Diversions

[2206]

Stechford Lane at the Fox and Goose has been closed clockwise only, road ahead closed, access only signs have been put up and the 11C has (i've seen 4675 and 4651 do it now), been turning left and heading up the Coleshill Road, following the diversion signs heading towards the Hunters Moon, as has the 55.
Does anyone know where they are being diverted to and where they are resuming there normal line of route?
Also does anyone know how long it will be like this for?

There's been nothing about this diversion on the NX and NWM websites as well?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but the 82 turned towards the Barclaycard Arena before Sandpits. Is this because of the Broad Street changes?

Broad St was a nightmare this morning with temporary lights in place at the Bishopsgate St junction, the existing roadworks by the Novotel, and as you say a broken down number 9 outside the Brasshouse not helping matters. Despite the 9 having hazard lights flashing, 6874 that I was on stopped right behind it and then had to reverse to get round it. 52 minutes to travel 4 miles to work ☹️

Police blocked of Warwick Road in Acocks Green towards Solihull only at about 08:45 today.
The 37 would have been diverted via, Warwick Road, Shirley Road, Olton Boulevard East, Warwick Road.

Stratford Road was still closed this evening. I work around the corner from where the fire was yesterday, so I went to have a nose when I finished; they were still demolishing the buildings about 5:30pm, unless they're going to work through the night I can't see it being opened by the morning.
Diverted buses towards Birmingham were getting stuck in the resulting traffic congestion on Bordesley Middleway, I noticed some drivers were sensibly continuing down Coventry Road towards Digbeth; I saw a 31 turn left onto Camp Hill to then presumably turn right onto Bradford Street, while a 37 was unloading passengers at the Bordesley station stop before turning right onto Deritend High Street.
Poets Corner island was horrific, jammed with traffic trying to get onto Golden Hillock Road.
Its on evenings like this you really realise just how much traffic congestion there is, when all the traffic that would normally use one major route has to join the heavy traffic on other already congested routes.

It looks like it will be closed all day tomorrow and all day Wednesday

Definitely a 9 branded MMC outside the Brasshouse at around 8.45 this morning (inbound) with hazard lights on and nobody on board. There was no other bus in front. Unless we are talking about different breakdowns.
