Thanks Tony - I should have posted my original question in this thread.

What is the 11A/C's Harborne diversion?

11A - War Lane, Northfield Road, Quinton Road. 11C is reverse of this

The 99 from city is also a bit of a tour. Normally doubles back at metchley anyway but with the diversion it now goes up war lane only to spin round to go back down again!

71 outbound from Sutton on diversion through Falcon Lodge this p.m. due to RTA at the junction of Walmley Road and Hollyfield Road South.  Diversion probably short-lived; the road had been cleared by the time I walked past the scene of the accident.  The service frequency was certainly affected though, two of the 71s were running one behind the other.

Green Bus have a broken down bus in Stirchley causing a diversion for the 45 & 47s!

I just saw an 11C on the Harborne diversion, coming up War Lane onto Lordswood Road, but my 11A followed normal line of route, right past the Huntsman

Harborne Park Rd has recently reopened but only in the Outer Circle anticlockwise direction.

Newhall st in city centre is closed from Colmore Row. Everything is going down Church Street instead, driver of 8714 on the 82 didn't know so had to reverse back down Colmore Row

All the Saltley buses are entering and leaving city centre via Lancaster Circus at the moment

Should only be leaving that way. The road in is open. It is a broken down coach blocking the road. What I did see is a Discout Travel Solutions vehicle doing a three point turn on James What Queensway (S929PDD) on the 97 with passengers on commit two illegal offences. Driving over the footway forcing pedestrians out of the way and reversing back into the carriageway into oncoming traffic without a banksman

Broken down NX coach still there at 7pm. 97s, 17s and 73s turning round at Old Square.  Saltley buses were using Lancater Circus, doing a U-turn and turning left at the lights by Mathew Bolton College, and back up Jennins Rd to leave City. Causing a lot of congestion around half 5

Lots of routes on diversion tonight because of icy roads making them impassable including 47, 49, 244 & 276

Seems the 244 is on a drastic diversion,

"244 and 276 are currently on diversion.  At Lye they are going to Foley Arms Island and back down to grange road."

Actual diversion is Hagley Causeway, not turning into Lutley Lane, to Rosemary Road and Normal line of route
