Diversions

[Ossie]

A temporary diversion of the 71, certainly south-bound, in Castle Bromwich from around midday today.  Part of the old Chester Road was blocked.  So we diverted  via the 70 then 966 route to rejoin Chester Road at Hurst Lane.  Didn't see any north-bound 71's, so not sure what they were doing.

Trying to work out why I saw a 128 following the 48 route round Lightwoods Hill / Harborne Rd this morning...

Interesting diversion on the 99 this week due to Severn Trent work on Tennal Road. To city buses are serving Queens Park Road and Fellows Lane, not roads you would normally see buses on.

On a separate note I wish NXWM could learn to spell Tennal Road correctly on their website. In the 1990s QN buses also had it spelt incorrectly on the "via" blind for Route 20.

Was the WB43 on diversion out of Bilston around 1900?

Currently using Oxford St and Loxdale St due to drainage works are being carried out on Dudley St.

Thought so, the 43 used that way and I thought the driver was lost :)

 Currently stuck on Gravilly Hill du to RTC at Kingsbury Road. Diversion for Suttons is Lichfield Road, Slade Road and Fentham Road , the same for the 66. I think the 914s are using Tyburn Road to Salford Circus

Explains the traffic on Slade road atm, confused the hell out of me when I saw a 66 coming towards us and disappearing up Fentham road.
Kinda typical for the one day I decide to get the 28 and 65 to work instead of X51 into town but hey ho

Looks like it's cleared now, by the time I got to Salford Circus there was traffic going both ways up Gravelly Hill

It was cleared in about 30 minutes but the traffic heading down from Erdington was terrible. nearly back up to the Petrol Station by Six Ways. The traffic behind me that could turn around looked awful too heading back down to Salford Circus

There was a 914, me on a 902, a 66, a 904, the 110 and a DTS Dart stuck heading out of City, and a 66, 110 and 2 90*s stuck heading into City. The accident must have just happened as I was heading into City, as you could get round on the wrong side of the road, so I radioed in to inform AVL. Then the road was closed when the Police turned up, so I radioed back to update the situation. Was 30 down when I got going again, missed out my dropback at Hill Hook and left there 6 minutes late swinging it straight round, but got into Sutton 2 minutes early! Plus I'm finished now anyway, I do like duty 1!

The 37 looks to be on diversion as I saw some 37's on Highgate road.

Sure they weren't short workings to Sparkbrook turning round? I saw one earlier heading that way.
