Darlaston & Dudley corridor was on diversion earlier as there was an accident on the Pleck railway bridge.

My 311 diverted via the Rolling Mill St Bridgeman St area, then Pleck Road down to Pleck lights then normal route.

#436
Diversions in City tonight. Police Incident on Moor Street/Albert Street. Only in the past 20 minutes or so

16s are terminating at Priory Queensway, and 33, 51, 52, Suttons, 934 etc are all using Dale End and terminating at Old Square and loading by the courts. I imagine that will be fun for a while

I don't know what other services will be doing, Pershore Rd, Bristol Rd, Stratford Rd etc

Anyone know to a diversion in the Tipton area as I saw a 311 coming up the Black Country Route this morning when I was walking down.

Would like to know for tonight please , as it looked like missed out the Parkway stop towards Wednesbury, which is the one I need.

Theres a notice in Wednesbury Bus Station.

Not much good there if you're waiting for a bus unless a friendly bus driver is coming the other way!

311/313 was in a bit of a mess this evening. Overheard a driver saying he was running an hour late towards Walsall. don't suppose all those roadworks by the motorway island helps really.

Yes it was a pain in the **** this evening!

Left work at 5. Never got in the house in Bloxwich until around 640!

Tomorrow Im at Darlaston, which I will explain about at some point this week.

Wednesday & Thursday, fingers crossed, should get a lift to Moxley Aldi.

Friday, not sure whether to take a walk to Wednesbury BS or go via Great Bridge & West Bromwich back to Walsall.

Things must be bad on the Expressway and Lichfield Rd, I just saw an Arriva Streetlite come along Heartlands Spine Road on the 110

The Expressway is closed from City due to an accident and oil spill. I assume the Lichfield Road is like a car park. I've got it all to look forward to now!

Good luck pal!

I saw an Arriva Scania on the 116 heading up Jennens Road passed me on the 72 by MB college bus stop about 12ish was wondering why it came up that way

Expressway closed except for access onto M6

John

Another driver was saying that the Expressway was closed due to the 116 been shot at by a gun, with a bullet entering the rear window and breaking through another window exiting! I really don't believe that!

Anyway it finally reopened around half 3 this afternoon. The nice thing though that the last few weeks, the Expressway seems to flow quite well in the evening peak compared to what it used to. I sailed down it around 6pm, with the right hand 2 lanes flowing well, just people queuing to join the M6. I don't know if it is due to the contraflow working again

It was an RTC just before the Erdington/Tyburn Road split that also had a large diesel spillage that had to be cleaned up before it could reopen
