Diversions

[YWDriver]

Not exactly long but just seen 4375 on the 76 going by billesley fire station

The 76 and 27 are doing a left out of Haunch Lane and going up to the fire station roundabout to make a u turn and then taking a left onto the 3 route before returning to normal line of route. It is due to Chinn Brook Road being resurfaced.

I bet that is having an effect on the timetables especially having to wait by the shops in billesley to get past the parked cars... Was handy though being able to catch a 76 straight into Kings Heath from the top of trittiford road today :D

The top of kings heath is blocked and none of the diverted drivers seem to have a clue where to go, seen a 27 coming out of Abbots road, 76 out of colmore road and a 50 (4341) even made it down to pineapple bridge to turn around.

Longest lasting diversion must be Pershore Road [Bromsgrove St, Bristol St, Bristol Rd, Priory Rd, NLOR] still on diversion this afternoon. Seems to be the permanent route now ha

Ha, I must say the radio message was a bit confusing. I believe the route was Howard Road, right onto Colmore Road, right Vicarage Road and then either a left for the 27/76 or up to Kings Heath for the 50.

RTC outside the Dog Track (into city side) this afternoon made chaos of the buses using Aldridge Road this afternoon. All traffic had to use Wellhead Lane to Aston Lane, turn right to Birchfield Road Island, causing major delays/bunching up of services

That is the route all the Green Buses seemed to be following, and I did see 2 NX 50s follow that route too. Was a blast from the past though seeing a 27 on Abbots Road again!

Just heard that there has been an accident at the Crossways and the junction is closed. There must be diversions on 7/28/907s

Went through at 18:20 and it was clear then

Wolverhampton Rd East Closed this morning due to a crash at the Dudding Rd Junction this morning. 1's diverted up B'ham New Rd i presume?  The 25 possibly cut the Ednam Rd (Goldthorn Hill) area out to go straight across the Fighting Cocks Crossroads onto Parkfield Rd

Here's the news about the crash:

I thought there was an issue somewhere! Today was the first time I've caught a bus in nearly 3 weeks and ended up waiting half an hour for the 1

Diversion for the number 1 is, goldthorn hill then edmund road following the 27 route

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

And with the Dudley diversion still adding on time at least 4 left Dudley almost simultaneously between 9 and 10 past 9

Cheers for the info @Andrew

Do you know what the diversion was for the 25?

[andrew1991]

@Nathan not sure on the 25 diversion but possibly straight up parkfield road carrying on up goldthorn hill, unless it's being sent down birmingham new road and then up lawnswood avenue so it can still serve most of its usual route
