Was the Arriva on a 326 or out of service?

Guessing the diversion is via ASSA Abloy & the back of Willenhall Park (the 57 route)?

Quarry Bank High st closed one way apparently this coming week (7pm-3am only) so buses will use St Anne's Road/Quarry Road/Coppice Lane. Resurfacing works apparently. Full closure on the evening of Monday 18th April too.

Guess they been able to have it extended by the council then? When I spoke to the inspectors the other day they said that the council said it had to be done by the 10th and that they'd had the application rejected.

There's some nice diversions in place around merry hill tonight due to curry bonk road closures
And by the look of it the 243/4 will be running late

Indeed, in place tomorrow, thursday and friday night too. Then a full closure next Monday. Can understand the 243 being worse off as it is having to go via Coppice Lane to Cradley Heath then go back up the Park Road roundabout just to go back to it's normal route whereas the others need just go to the rail station. Not a huge distance but all adds up I suppose!

The 208 meanwhile seems to have given up using the high street recently (that is not to say it is ignoring it completely though). On a number of days I have seen it go via Saltwells now even both ways, presumably to avoid the traffic from the roadworks at the top of the high street. Makes sense really when it rejoins the route around Dudley Wood anyway.

Seems like Brookvale Road may be closed as an 11E to Bearwood has come down the Aldridge Road past the dog track in Perry Barr

Plus an incident in Sutton this afternoon shut Victoria Street so all traffic was diverted through Lower Parade
