Gas works.
Closed as part of a seven week closure.

Ah, cheers for the info.

17 Branded Omnilink on Bucklands End Lane at about 20:20 this evening heading towards Fox & Goose and City Centre on the 55.
Would have been either 1795 or 1797.

14 is diverting through Ward End today along Washwood Heath Road, Fox & Goose and Stechford Lane.

I noticed yesterday evening when I was on a 14 on the way back from the city centre, there was a city bound 94 using Melvina Road. Not sure why Nechells Parkway would have been closed.

The 73 is currently diverting between Common Lane and Horrell Road (both directions) due to Common Lane being closed for resurfacing work I believe so is diverting via Church Road and the other part of Horrell Road (between Church Road and Brays Road) to re-join normal route.

14 is diverting through Ward End today along Washwood Heath Road, Fox & Goose and Stechford Lane.

14 is diverting again today.

14 is diverting again today.

There seems to be roadworks at the junction of Alum Rock Road/Clipston Road, which is making Alum Rock Road light up dark red on Google. I'd hazard a guess at that causing some 14s to divert.

Don't forget its also Eid tomorrow, so there's lots more people out shopping, which means more traffic congestion from bad parking.

On Tuesday evening around 6pm it was difficult up there. Two 14 and two 14E between Saltley Gate and Wright Road.

Just had notification from TfWM that the 4 and 4A are diverting away from the area, via Reddings Lane, Formans Road and Stratfford Road. Delays can be expected on other services in the general area.

34 had already stopped running before this fire broke out. :D

Is that 34 service a successor of the old 649/650 minibus services?

Yes, the 650 was renumbered to 34 a few years ago now.
