Saw 2238 on the 72 on the diversion via Ward End, The Fox and Goose at about 07:50 this morning on Bromford Lane going towards Solihull. The NWM website says the diversion is just overnight between 19:00 and 07:00. Theres nothing about the 72 diversion on the NX website, or the 71 diversion in Castle Vale and Minworth. @Tony do you know what time the 72 is diverted between?

One from yesterday NXWM WA 37 and Thandi were on Diversion due to an RTC on Bentley Road North when I got the junction of Wolverhampton Road West were the 37 crosses and goes towards the Bridge the Driver said anyone getting off next stop he said because there has been a Crash the roads closed so your getting off here. So we then turned Right down the 529 route onto the McDonald's island Left down towards the Robin Hood and joined by the Factory just past Bentley Road North. NXWM seemed to use the Black Country Route and Wolverhampton Road East. But a Thandi 37 was turned around and diverted down the route my 37 had took.

From 11 till 2 Buses going into West Brom were having to use congregation way and the Ringway Due to a broken down bus on New Street at the Junction with the High Street.
1938 was the Cause.

Was there a problem on the Bristol Rd in Selly Oak this morning? I saw a couple of 63s follow the X61 route from Selly Oak through to Bournbrook via Aston Webb Bvd and Selly Oak by-pass towards city shortly before 9.00.

No I believe it would be to do with 16's being in the way.

All Harborne and Hagley Rd services currently on diversion off Broad St via Sheepcote St and round the back of the ICC to Paradise Circus in both directions due to what looks like some sort of police incident.

@Mike K - Probably due to this March
