Once again 35s are diverting past the cricket ground,  although the outbound route is a bit longwinded and weird I think I prefer going this way, pity its only temporary.

RTC on Aldridge Road, on the bridge over the River Tame by Wickes this afternoon. Buses coming from City had to use Walsall Rd and Church Lane to get back onto route (Both directions were shut for a short time). I had to use this diversion for 2 of my 4 33 trips this afternoon.

I don't know how the 997/934E/935As were managing this diversion, they must have been coming off the overpass at the same junction as the 907/952 and over Perry Barr Island

It appears to have cleared now. I assume the 69 was also affected.

Normal line of route. Yes all services using Wolverhampton Rd were affected.

The diversion was from Wolverhampton Rd left onto New Cross Ave then at the roundabout the 3rd exit onto Wednesfield Way before rejoining normal line of route at the Deans Rd junction.

The 48 has been on diversion near Bearwood. Wigorn Road has been closed for resurfacing since last week so it has been going via Barclay Road and Upper St Mary's Road in both directions

34s and 39s were diverting via Axletree Way and Bescot Road earlier, seemed weird seeing a B10L in a retail park...

Noticed today a lot of brum city centre buses are using the alternative routes as per the Christmas period last year. My X51 went under Lancaster Circus and followed a 33 and 51 up past the Law Courts, stopping on Newton street to set down (although a 997 in front still went round Masshouse). Also Cov road routes were using Carrs Lane and Albert Street to turn round.
Didn't seem that much traffic to warrant it though, was it just as a precaution or the drivers making it up as they desired?

Cov road services is a planned diversion for the next few weekends. It's mainly due to moor at car park and the traffic backing up park street. Although moat lane/digbeth coach stn seemed worse!

There were radio calls for the diversions to the Birchfield Road services.
Sutton services were also diverted via Snow Hill Queensway

Any idea why Harbourne services are using Hagley Rd?
