Diversions

[CL]

Services into Wolverhampton from Wombourne diverted, after what appears to look like a motorcyclist who's been knocked off their bike, on the Stourbridge Road.

From Billy Buns Lane, my 15 went up Wodehouse Lane up until Gospel End; turned left onto Penn Road, continuing onto Sedgley Road & Pennwood Lane, then right onto Church Hill. Turned right onto Penn Road (A449) and back onto normal line of route

Speaking of diversions, when is this one due to end? And what will happen when it does? Are all routes expected to go back exactly as normal?

I noticed a 63 service to Frankley at Birmingham University earlier on Edgbaston Park Road, with passengers at 16:00. Followed by 5517 out of service.

Both directions of Birchfield Road services diverted up Summer Lane, turning left at the top and to Wheeler Street, turning right to Aston 6 ways due to I heard someone on the bridge at 6 ways. It may be over as City bound A34 had just reopened as my 997 got there

The Perry Barr Flyover is shut heading out of City tonight. So everything is diverting down the Birchfield Road.

This latest X21 diversion due to the closure of Weoley Avenue is the most convoluted I've seen for a while with it having to go back on itself in both directions.
It's definitely gonna confuse some people when the kids go back next week .

Someone tried to get on it to go to City when we were going back on ourselves on the outbound journey earlier but the driver explained I think. One driver I had used Alwold Road instead of going the wrong way down Kemberton which I think is better personally takes any element of confusion out of it for passengers at the stops (as sometimes the destination displays are wrong so you never know).

60 , X1 and X2 are being diverted off Coventry Road towards Gilbertstone Avenue along the 58 route then up towards Clay Lane onto the Cov Road due to road surfacing for 5 days from 8pm-6am. Only Birmingham bound services are affected.

Bull Street has been closed since about 14:30.
Due to a collision involving 4487.
All services seemed to be using Albert Street and Priory Queensway.

Looks like an issue in Bloxwich as there was a non arrival of my 32, instead the x51 turned up.

Seems to be affecting the 32 & 19 but I didn't catch all what was said over the radio!
