Stupidly using the whole length of of Beeches Road, why couldn't they use Malthouse Lane/Sandy Lane to get to and from Beeches Road? The 5's done that before.

Have you tried the right turn at the bottom? Dangerous enough in the car let alone a bus. Also quite a steep hill so there is a risk of grounding the bus. The diversion used today is the safest route to go

The 11's are on diversion this afternoon.
I've not long got of 6126 on the 11A at the Fox and Goose, which took a slightly different route via Glebe Farm - Bordesley Green East, Church Lane all the way up to Glebe Farm, then down Audley Rd. The driver was directed by a passenger (who got of middway on the diversion route), as the driver was saying he didn't have any idea where Church Ln was, as its not his route.
The actual diversion is, Bordesley Green East, Church Ln and Flaxley Rd, which is the diversion route the other buses were taking.
Its good he made sure all the passengers, both upstairs and downstairs were aware that it was about to take a diversion though.

I saw an outbound 23 earlier on the Hagley Road near Guitar Guitar, not sure if there's a diversion?

17's were diverted this moring as well, due to drivers complaigning about a pothole on Grange Road in Small Heath, diverting via Green Lane towards the City Centre only.
NX were going to continue serving it sending an inspector out at 10, but changed there mind due to feedback from drivers.
Overheard it on the radio of 1811 on the 55 at about 08:20.

They never made any announcement at all about any diversion on the Twitter page though, which seems to be the case more often than not.

That's not a diversion it's one of the registered alternatives
