Diversions

[Liberator9]

Sounds an excellent idea - would've been beneficial. I think there is an alighting only display - funny enough on the 76E when it was full half way up the route to King's Heath. The driver I think told people downstairs when we got to the point, but at no point did he shout clearly upstairs or come up to inform us on the upper deck. The YW drivers are normally pretty good at letting you know - previous occasions when a similar thing has happened the driver has tended to come upstairs to explain.

Now Park Street is open again fully today, Most Walsall buses I saw today were still using the Dale End diversion in City

Park Street remained one lane only until 15:00 Walsall buses were instructed to use Dale End until both lanes opened

17,97,60, 900 & 957 now diverting up carrs lane and down dale end back onto moor street Queensway & straight out of city. Strangely the 73 still using its normal stop

Why strangely? It'll turn left at the bus gate up Priory and a U-turn at Old Square and back out of city the the rest of them.

Whilst watching the chaos yesterday, I noticed one 73 turn up onto Priory and Old Sq. The next one carried on and did the turn around Park St and Hotel LaTour onto Moor Street. It was far quicker doing it that way. Must have only taken 10/15 mins instead of 20/25

Something was blocking Colmore Row (or a road Colmore Row buses use to exit City) this evening, as some buses (I saw 2 9s and a 140) were using Old Square to turn around, and I guess go back down Snow Hill Queensway to Charles Street Queensway

According to the NXWM app, there was a broken down bus, so all Colmore Row services were supposed to use Snow Hill Queensway

The 70s are using Auckland Drive (94 route) from the B4114/A452 Collector Road Island. I don't know where they are going after that because I lost sight of it. I've seen 2 doing that this morning

Water Orton is closed! Planned works, not because of the snow, a shuutle bus is running between Water Orton and Coleshill Parkway to connect with the 70

Thats why I saw the 70 going down the A446.

Yes Harborne is totally ****ed this morning, the 22/23 are missing out 9 of their regular stops city bound along probably the busiest section of the route. Not great for morning commuters.

At least now they might finally demolish the ruins of the Huntsman pub.

I've just read this chaos might last for three days, because yes, the wind has damaged the remains of the Huntsman so badly that it does need demolishing

Just seen the 82/87 going up City Road, what's happened?
does anyone know the route it's taking from up there?
Is the 83/89 doing the same?

[the trainbasher]

my NXWM 4H has decided to use Bell End to divert....just the name of the road makes me laugh!

There again we've been stuck for 30 minutes in massive traffic!
