Harborne routes on diversion between the Green Man and White Swn via Metchley Lane, Somerset Road and Richmond Hill Road due to the gaping hole in Harborne Road as a result of the flooding on Sunday.

The driver of 6855 has either forgotten or not been made aware of this as he carried on down the Harborne Road and is having a hard time correcting it...
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

You have to make a conscious effort to steer round the "Road Ahead Closed" and "Diversion" signs at the Green Man lights so he only has himself to blame!

No this was outbound, but still there are signs there on the road. Yesterday I saw people waiting at the Green Man inbound stop...

Ah, ok. In that case I wouldn't fancy trying to manoeuvre a bus up Yateley Road and Nursery Road then.

Nah, he reversed and went down Brook Road. The Yateley Road diversion has been done before though.

I've noticed over the last few days a number of 8A/8C buses running along Stratford Road and Small Heath Highway. Presumably they are being diverted away from Golden Hillock Road, but there's no diversion info on either the NWM or NXWM websites.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

All week in the city centre the 14,55,94,X12 and X70 stops outside B&M have apparently been closed between 8pm and 6am. With services due to be using BS9 across the road. Only once have I seen this happen though. I use late night and early morning services for work. Does anyone know why? Quite a few confused passengers at stops both sides of the road!
