But you do still get people trying to get on an 11E to Acocks Green when it arrives in Acocks Green.  :D

Yeah, just let them on, let them find a seat and get cosy and then turf them off. Lol.


Edit: That reminds me of something a friend of mine did. Someone was doing a "rounder" on the 1, back when it ran to Shirley (Tesco/Haslucks Green/VW Showroom). They didn't get off at the terminus. He was running NIS back to garage. The bus arrived in the garage and straight onto the fuel pumps when someone walked off from upstairs confused lol!!

Me personally, I've had people not get off when I'm doing the 11E to Bearwood. They'd say, take us to Harborne, it's only down the road. They wouldn't get off so I began driving NIS to garage. They ended up getting off at Cannon Hill Park lmfao!

Around 1625 today: -

4624 on 14E to "Chelmsley Interchange"
4446 on 63E to Leach Green Lane.

There may well have been others later on as there was gridlock for a few minutes in Birmingham on the Carrs Lane > Dale End > Albert Street > Moor Street loop.

Bristol and Pershore Road services were diverting up Bull Street, Corporation Street and the Priory Queensway. Suttons were using Carrs Lane.

I had to run an X5 to Mere Green, because of the bus turning up 20 minutes late, and getting stuck waiting to join Old Square just before 4pm, 35 minutes late then

Been several 276Es to Stourbridge today, saw one passing through Lye at 16:10, also 2 seen following each other towards Dudley a few minutes earlier.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
