Diversions

[Kevin]

Aston Bridge is closed atm so Lichfield rd buses are using Thomas St and Park Lane outbound. Adding about 10 mins to the journey can only imagine it's worse about now when rush hour hits proper

The 126 has about 4-5 diversions on today the worst being by Oldbury motorway bridge, It's near enough going Blackheath. Its adding around 15 mins. Would suggest avoiding it today!

All Hagley Rd/Broad St services are on diversion today due to a Charity Bike Ride

Its fun and games on the 7 and Outer Circle tonight. RTC on Moor Lane means that the 7 is diverted from the Crossways via Hawthorn Rd, Kingstanding Rd and Aldridge Rd down to Perry Barr and Aston Lane back to Witton, and reverse for outbound buses. I also passed 3 11s parked up with their hazard lights on, on Kingstanding Rd, just past Goodway Rd, in the Perry Barr Direction. The driver of the front one was on the phone, this was about 7.25pm

Ironically if they had waited a few more minutes it was clear just after half 7

Oh no.   :'( :'( :'( Don't get me wrong, I love the diversions. (Confusion from other passengers are usually priceless)  ;D :P

Five ways diversion could be used at short notice upon police instructions

Currently enjoying the scenic route home on 4359, went up towards highgate along the ring road then a U turn back due to the one way system not allowing a right turn and now we are on Pershore road by the cricket ground. Im guessing Balsall Heath has a road closed somewhere!

On an out-bound 115 (4932) diverted between Dartmouth Circus and Aston Cross via Thomas Street and right into Park Lane this morning.  Couldn't see any particular reason for it, but it was being "signposted" as a traffic diversion.  Presumably all the Lichfield Road routes affected.

Been using that route for over a week. Aston Bridge is shut after being hit by a lorry with its jib in the raise position which took a big chunk of concrete out of the bridge

Thanks, Tony, I wasn't aware of that.  I don't use the 115 all that often, I'm afraid!

Two weeks... See my post about 10 posts above. Traffic levels have died down a bit now though, it looks like car drivers are going a different way round cause at the start it took nigh on 20 mins from Dartmouth circus to Aston Cross, now it's a breeze

Soho Rd buses were going down the 16 route this evening in both directions to the Outer Circle and turning towards Grove Lane
