Diversions

[karl724223]

9, X8, X10 on diversion towards city from
Quinton church via Ridgacre Road and Wolverhampton Road South due to a RTA on Hagley Road West. Seen this diversion a few times recently, that area seems an accident black-spot.

It is

79 on Diversion In Darlaston due to gas main works on Pinfold Street it might be one the wording of the article I read doesn't say if both directions are closed or just one but NX say diverted down Pinfold Street and Darlaston Road, I'm gonna assume it's the West Brom direction as assumingly the 79 can get down Dangerfield Lane to Wolverhampton but aren't Serving it heading to West Bromwich 

[BlackCountryBusSpotter]

I've heard Dangerfield Lane is closed due to roadworks but Apparently it's Pinfold Street Apparently it is closed tonight due to a serious RTC Car Vs Bike 79 presumably continuing down Darlaston Road in both directions, TFWM have Listed the roadworks as Moxley Road

Looks like major disruption for the X21/22 in 2025 if this is happening?
"In addition to this both services will use Bristol Road, Edgbaston Park Road, Pritchatts Road in both directions due to full closure of Edgbaston Park Road from January 6th to March 25th".

The closure on one network seems to be listed for July though so maybe postponed?

The rescheduled diversion seems to be coming into effect from Monday.

means the A38 between Edgbaston Park Road and City will have:
61/63 running every 6 mins
X21/X22 running every 10 mins
X20 running every 30 mins

making up 18 buses an hour in the daytime. when cricket kicks out it'll be easier when driving the Bristol Road.

Leaves a massive section of route Granville Street & Wheeleys Road unserved that one does.

From Birmingham could it not go Arthur Road, right Church Road to Bristol Road

It certainly does and won't serve the Vale either.

I can't see any other way though. It'd be a left from Arthur Road from Birmingham to BR. But you can't turn right from Church Road onto Arthur Road anyway towards City Centre. So it wouldn't work.

I just hope the diversion is clearly communicated at the affected stops otherwise there will be some annoyed people on Monday.

Was kinda hoping they wouldn't serve any of the stops on the Bristol Road to be honest.

You can use Ampton Road I think. AG use that sometimes when the 1 is on diversion.
 The only thing is it'd have to go Pebble Mill, Pershore Rd towards City to get onto Priory Road as well.

All stops are normally served on diversions.

Back at work on Saturday had some holiday this week, but will check if they have put the diversions up on the wall yet.

From reading the nx site, its the uni part of Edgbaston Park Road thats closed, theres not really an easy way around without throwing them down side roads (due to the amount of no-turn sign - can't turn right from church road to Arthur road and can't turn left from Bristol Road to Church Road). kinda slightly surprised they aren't turning on the ring road and using bath row, but bath row is served by the 80 which is frequent enough.

I get that but given how frequent the 61 and 63 are there isn't much point.

But what about people who normally get on in the missed out area to travel home to the outer end of the route

Yeah I did think about that, it will be a bit of a walk from those areas to a stop on the BR though.

Saw a couple of X10s with destination displays set for this showing Snow Hill Birminham, then on the scrolling 'via' line showing Short Journey via Cradley Heath, Old Hill... etc.
