Interestingly diamond are going via green lane except for 1 which follows the NX diversion

Somerfield Road & Green Lane is correct route for the 1.

Are there roadworks on Alum Rock Road that I don't know about? 14s out of city have been using Washwood Heath Road today.

I know it's Eid today but Alum Rock Road is very quiet, almost silent. Has been all day. That may change into the evening when the car flag waving and horn tooting parade will no doubt start, but Eid in the day is always quiet as everyone is at home, with friends or family or at mosque.

eid is today for some and alum rock rd was gridlock especially an hour ago lots of police presence too but yes between cotteirls lane and sladefield road half the side is closed so onlu buses inbound can use normal line of route

A shame temporary traffic lights can't be used when only one side of the road is closed. It's a very large diversion! Eid wasn't an issue in the morning and early afternoon. The road was empty.

yes temporary lights would've been a better solution but would've caused more traffic issues and they were stuck on alum rock road for a good hour last night

14s out of city have been using Washwood Heath Road today.

When I caught 6148 to the Railway Station in Town, there were a few 14's going the other way on Washwood Heath Road on Monday 19th.
I caught 4476 back today. Bus was nice and quiet and nearly empty both ways.

Is there any reason why Diamond operate a different diversion to Nx?

(Dunno about Chaserider, as I haven't caught their 74 for a few days!)

It's a surprise Broadstone Avenue has never been used on a 'normal' route to my knowledge!

no i don't think cause it has no bus stops down there although they could of been removed

According to Google maps, the Walsall 25 uses the top part of the road.
