Diversions

Just a quick question regarding the 241, is it still running via Spies Lane towards Dudley? I just checked Kent Road and its closed between the mini roundabout and the Stag. If i wait on Spies Lane it should stop, shouldn't it?

There will be a lovely long diversion on the evening 900s in a couple of months when the bit of the A45 by the Arden Oak is resurfaced and the 900 has to go nearly to Solihull!

Another weird one will be when Six ways roundabout at Aston is done, 33/51 will just go under the underpass but the 7 will have a nice detour

I'll make sure to catch a crazy 900 then! Nice one Tony!

Will the work at Six Ways be done in the Evenings/Weekends or during the day as I regularly catch the 7 to/from work (Wouldn't mind a mittle detour however)

It is evening. Another evening one coming up in a couple of months time is when they resurface Soho Road between Nineveh Road and Villa Road which will be 'interesting'

Thanks, may well have to take an evening trip on it.

Weirdest diversion I ever did was during the really heavy snow in 2010. The 27 couldn't serve Bournville, so from Northfield it went straight down the Bristol Road into Selly Oak, turned around at Harborne Lane / Chapel Lane (Sainsbury's), then flowed the 11A route down Linden Road, but carried on straight into Cotteridge rather than turning off for Bournville station. Had to get off at Linden Road, but it would've been interesting to see where it went from there, but I assume it kept following the A4040 into Kings Heath, and then probably did the 50 route into Maypole.

As it missed out three major areas in Bournville, Stirchley, and Yardley Wood (I assume it missed out Hawkesley before Northfield as well as the estate is very tricky, so let's say four areas) I think it counts as a weird diversion!

I remember it well.

Diversions like that annoy me. They might've just revoked the service for the good that did.

Best route change was 'Yeah drivers on the X64 receiving? Due to heavy snow, please terminate at Selly Oak.' I can tell you for free it didn't last long!

Some rolling diversions on WN routes due to the Wolverhampton Marathon. My 25 (11:00 ex Wolverhampton) went down a side street in Wobaston due to Patshull Avenue/Marsh Lane being closed as it is part of the marathon route.

Thought I was going mad, saw a 37 heading down lode lane. Turns out due to an accident they can't go straight the Warwick rd Island. He obviously turned left onto lode land, and was going to turn it around at the olton tavern! Seen another one just after turning into lode lane.

Any idea why a 49 was going down Frankley Beeches Road , effectively missing out Hoggs Lane and the rest?
