Diversions

[Tony]

Buses are currently diverted off Albert Street & Dale End towards Corporation Street due to the roadworks that have uncovered the original tramtracks I mention in the other thread. The contractors have put this sign up to make sure buses don't go up there

[Tony]

The sign doesn't work though, and this driver had to reverse back up the road to avoid going under a low bridge

WA934 on diversion due to an accident on Beacon Road. Going towards Walsall, it turns right at Buffet Island, following the Dual Carriageway to The Queslett pub. When it reaches the island where The Queslett is located, it turns left and follows the 997 route all the way to Barr Beacon. To Birmingham is reverse of above. However the diversion is causing major delays to the 934/5/6/7/7A.

Park Road is closed on the 9 route from Colly Lane to Park Lane. So the 9 is currently on diversion following the 002 route to Netherend Lane then the 004 route back to the 9 route by Park Lane.

Diversions around merry hill tonight due to road closures at merry hill resurfacing

Theirs a car crash on Sutton Road in Erdington and I saw 1875 just behind it with hazards on indicating he couldn't really go anywhere. I'm assuming a diversion will take place for all routes inbound to Erdington

Might use Orphanage Road from The Yenton down to Erdington Fire Station to come out at the end of the High Street

I've just popped down to the garage, and there is currently a Police van blocking the road (not the underpass) at the stop after Wellhead Lane into City on the main A34 heading up to Perry Barr island.

I guess 33/907s are using Wellhead Lane to Aston Lane, and turning right to the island. 51/52s might be using the overpass and coming off at the first junction to regain normal route

Do we know which diversion route the 51/X51s were taking today with the Birmingham Road been closed?

The only way I can see is to use Broadway to Sutton Road, and over the Beacon to Asda Queslett, and Queslett Road to Scott Arms. A lengthy diversion missing out a lot of stops (for the 51 anyway)

That was the one!

900 on diversion in Allesley. We firstly missed out Allesley Village (I'm not sure if this is part of the diversion) and went straight down Pickford Way. Holyhead Road is shut so we've been diverted down Allesley Old Road then Four Pounds Ave before returning to normal line of route.
Also been diverted straight over the Ring Road to Pool Meadow since a lot of the City Centre is shut due to a Marathon.

This is the one information poster put up by NX in the city centre. Good luck if you want to find out where routes are diverted and don't have access to Internet. Surely all OAPs are smartphone enabled in the 21st century.

Apparently later this week Hamstead Hill is closed again for resurfacing. Official diversion is apparently in place for the 54/54A (even though I'm sure it's finished by the time the works start) to run direct from Hamstead to Perry Barr, then round to Handsworth Wood to pick up the route back to Perry Barr.
Had to lol at that one
