Why have I seen 900's/957's using Heath Mill Lane going into the city?
I can only assume there's been some sort of incident somewhere...

If that was the case, wouldn't the Coventry Road services also be diverted as well ?! Or is something in regards to the highway

Probably nothing related. But there's been a fire around Digbeth (Wholesale Markets). I assume services, like those coming from Deritend, and others, such as the 16, 80, 126, etc... have been diverted.

A number of bus routes have been diverted as emergency services deal with the fire.

NX West Midlands said services 2, 3, 5, 6, 17 & 37 diverted via Coventry Road, Digbeth High street, Heathmill Lane, Fazeley Street and onto Park Street.

Service 50 diverted via Bradford Street, Alcester Street, High Street, Heathmill Lane, Fazeley Street and onto Park Street and Service 35 is currently terminating at Sherlock Street. A further update will follow shortly.

Follow @nxwestmidlands for updates.

Some sort of fire in the City, AG City routes are turning right onto Heath Mill, left on Fazely, left again and normal line of route. Applies to the 5/31/37/73. I think it's at the markets, this fire.

Yep your right whole of Upper Dean Street has just been taped off looks like there's been a fire in the market car park.

NXWM's twitter has confirmed that all services are back to their normal routes.

Sounded like fun on that side of the City! Another driver told me of the fire as I was waiting time at the Uni relief stop. All of our 16s were terminating at The Priory Queensway (Not bad as they would have over 20 minutes layover before leaving City on time! They were parking up at the lay-by by Hotel LaTour on Park Street and some at the stop at the bottom of The Priory Queensway), the queues of passengers for the affected services on Moor Street/Cars Lane were massive, especially the Coventry Road and the 97. Moor Street Queensway was near enough empty heading back up towards Hotel LaTour from the Bullring, makes a nice change

Thatnks Tony, I will keep my eyes peeled for them this week.

Which BC E400 has got orange around the destination and above the lights, no branding on the front window or on the side of it but full branding on the back?Saw one like this today in Birmingham and it looked quite odd.

[Ronnoc]

Some of the E400's still have that bonobos back advert.

[Dylanbusboy45]

It may have been a bonobos advert but I am quite sure I seen orange branding on the back which is correct for Pershore Rd

With the 900 branding under that! ;) (4902?)

[Dylanbusboy45]

Maybe it's 4902 but I would think it would be 4900 or 4905 onwards as I think 4902 has full branding.
