Roadworks 

And yet more delays and diversions on the 39 and 79 Moxley Road is closed for repairs from today until Friday so both are now diverting High street, Black Country New Road, Dangerfeild Lane, Pinfold Street Normal Line of route who decides to do all these Roadworks and why during the term time and all together.

Very odd and very individual detour this afternoon leaving Birmingham on an 82 towards Bearwood. Waited over 20 mins for any sign of an 82 or 87 at the St Martin's Queensway (New Street Station) stop before getting on an 82 which initially pulled up jammed to the rafters just before 1630, showing Not In Service before disgorging some passengers and changing to show 82. 
Next stop it pulled up by Primark to let more alight, but not picking anyone up at the correct Moor Street stop despite seats now being available. Same on Priory Queensway, just before Old Square (by B&M), instead of the Colmore Circus stop.
Then the driver turned right into Corporation Street, crawled along in the traffic to Lancaster Circus, left into St Chad's Queensway left into Snow Hill and pulled up outside the police station (the one with the entrance in the side of the Lloyd House police HQ building). "Two minutes, I'm going to the toilet," the driver announced, before disappearing inside. I was puzzled where the relevant facility must be but assume it's in a public area of the reception unless there's some kind of access agreement for urgent need.
Once back, we continued into Colmore Row and as normal.
Very odd.
Having stopped right outside Primark an indeed directly opposite Moor Street Station I would have thought either of their loos would have been quicker than getting stuck in extra traffic all the way up the top end of Corporation Street.
Got off at my stop at Grove Lane to note the service showing 31 late on the ticket screen.
I guess this illustrates the paucity of suitable public loos in Birmingham. Yes, there are loos generally available to the public albeit inside private property such as shopping centres, department stores and rail stations. But no truly public facilities.

Due to a crash involving the Police neat to Snow Hill the 12, 13, 74, 101 and 16 are diverted. The 12, 13 and 74 are going James Watt Queensway, Dale End, Corporation Street to Priory Expressway. I was on the 74 earlier and that is the way we went. Not sure which way the 101 or 16 are going

Due to an incident on church lane handsworth, the 74 was diverted.

Diversion was as followed,

Ninevah road, Wandsworth New Road, Lodger Road, Goodie Avenue and Whitmore Street.

Not so much a diversion but the 37 is unable to terminate in Willenhall as Lower Lichfield Street is closed so it is terminating Stringes Lane no idea where that is Turning around. If I'm right Stringes Lane is part of the road that goes from Sandbeds Road to Morrisons in Willenhall and becomes Stringes Lane after Crossroads Cafe and the former Elm Park Tavern Pub
