Diversions

[MW]

All Stratford Road routes on diversion (as they were last night too).

From City, same as 900/957 via Small Heath Highway, right onto Golden Hillock Road, right onto Walford Road, left onto Stratford Road then normal line of route. And then vice versa into City.

Sparkbrook bit of Stratford Road is closed due to roadworks.

Yeah, I remember seeing the 'advance warning' notices down there, but funny how there is no mention of these diversions on either the NX or NWM websites. All could see had been done yesterday was the top surface had been taken off at the Auckland Road stop by Henley Street. I guess I'll see what else has been done shortly when I go to work!

EDIT: It's on the NWM website Alerts page now, but they have the diversion down as Highgate Middleway and Highgate Road.

Quite nice seeing Straford Road services on Highgate road, they suit the road a lot.

Yeah it's the Highgate one, yesterday it was te Walford Road one for AG services and apparently the Highgate one for YW services. Something must have got cocked up somewhere. Today I saw a 37 coming off Small Heath Highway towards City so some were using one diversion and some another!

I was one of the 5's on Highgate Road this evening. The reaction to the Highgate Road low bridge was hilarious by passengers.

I can guarantee a lot of people will scream if they're in a double deck and they go through that bridge  ;D. Surprised that they gave it a height of 14 '3.

It's so lorries don't use it. It was originally flat there apparently and they dipped it down so buses could fit.

Always been like that. It has been on the Inner Circle route since it started which was always double deck until it was converted to Mercedes a few years back
