Apparently according to one of our delivery drivers, Stratford Road and Ladypool Road were seriously congested due to Eid shopping traffic.

Was there any TV coverage of this today? Don't recall seeing it on the Beeb.

Think Walsall has a similar march next week apparantly.

Around 6pm this evening saw a WB E400 (too far to ID but had a blue arse end so fairly sure it was a WB example) come from the Queslett Road, u-turn by the Scott Arms bus stops on the Walsall Road, and head back up the Queslett Road to park up in the first bus stop. Guessing it was a 5 that was turned short but never seen one do that there before
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
