Diversions

Is the 74 still being diverted?

I don't think so, I believe it's normal line of route now, although I've seen a few 74s today 2 or 3 of them with 74 Dudley or 74 Birmingham *service on diversion* *acquire with driver* possibly got the wrong blinds on.

Was on Diversion due to badly parked card eairler going down Hamstead Road yeah this Building Fire happened on Monday it was fatal and the building could collapse. It reminds me of the BOAK Building fire that closed Bridgeman Street so the 38 had to follow the 34 as far as the road opposite Corporation Street down to the Manor that way before coming back on itself and to Walsall it went up to the Manor then back on itself to join the Wednesbury Road. So there was two diversions on the 74 eairler Badly Parked Cars and Soho Hill still being closed

Appears the 37 was/is on diversion due to a Building Fire on Lower Lichfield Street

Just spotted a Scania displaying 37E Lodge Farm on Sandbeds Road, past Lodge Farm!

As regards the 326, it was able to serve the Lion Hotel(Dominos), by using Hall St(which most drivers do anyway!), then going past Morrisons garage onto Wood Street then back onto normal route.

Is there any reason why the 37 couldn't go past the Morrisons garage like the 326, to serve its usual Willenhall stop?

No idea maybe Fire Engines were blocking it as the 326 was diverted eairer but when I said it may be over it was using the normal route with the 37 not using it. It says it was terminating at Stringes Lane I think looking at Bustimes St Anne's Road was it where it turned around 2144 is on the 37 nearest to Willenhall so if that uses the normal route then it is over. The 37's were running late due to the Fire so the 37E to Lodge Farm perhaps making up time. Or maybe it was turning around at Sandbeds Road to head back. I walked to Willenhall in the end so I didn't see if the 37's could have served there stop.

Still closed It is closed between Middle Peice Way and Church Lane this is according to WM Travel so Must have been a big fire

The 37 is now diverted til the 4th January due to this fire creating an Unsafe Structure so it is now diverted From Sandbeds Road, Clarkes Lane, Walsall Road, Middle Peice Way and Lower Lichfield Street Normal Line of Route 
37 To Walsall
Reverse Of Above
So the 326 will presumably be diverted to.

It'll be interesting to see how they divert the 326 then, as they used an E200 today down Wood St & surely the regular Nx Walsall vehicles arent that much bigger surely?

There was an E200 on the 37 today and Omnilinks and A B7RLE came on later, with it being festive Timetable B7's will probably more common on the 37 they are longer than Solo's. Not sure about Omnilink's.

326 still using Wood St, according to Bustimes. (And confirmed later by me!)

Yes The Building is unsafe The A41 is still closed. It will probably be closed for the rest of the year.
