Re 7 running dead could be catching up time, buses having been running late this morning due to bad traffic. Vinh1000 - when did you see it?

A notice on RTI in Pool Meadow stated emergency roadworks at Cromwell Avenue/Charter Avenue has resulted in the 6/A being routed via 6 outbound and 6A when returning to the city. The 18 was terminated short at the old Canley terminus. NXC website states 6/A now running normally.

Roadworks associated with removal of the right turning filter lanes on the "highway" at Kenilworth Road has caused congestion which has affected the 9A and also 11/12 due to tailbacks.
the time I posted it 9:53am
odd it posted on blinds jaguar works lol

I'm pretty certain Jaguar Works is next to Brownshill Green on the blind and it's an easy way of showing not in service if you see what I mean.
Buses tend to run dead to catch up time when meal reliefs are due

NXC posters have appeared at Tile Hill South saying the 18/A is terminating at the old Canley terminus "Until further notice".

I'll post various short workings seen today on the E thread.

They did the 19X/19W via Balsall Common (192/194 replacement in the Solihull Network Review) which got replaced by the 82 via Balsall Common which got replaced by the Diamond 82 via Meriden

Most buses look like that when they come back from return ;) At least all buses come back from refurb with grey seats :)

Strange that 4451 didn't have its advert removed :s. 6017 had the same advert now its gone, some buses had not long had their advert put up either e.g. 1570 then had it removed! 4451 has had that advert for years! 2155 still has an advert. :)

4200 at Pensnett still has that advert, I believe.
