YW 18 is running all over the place this morning, 4 in convoy heading towards Yardley at about 9 4375 terminated as a 18E in Northfield, any ideas where this would have turned round?

You think thats bad, try 7 Bristol Road buses running all together at 1800~ this evening. Took me 3hours to get home. I'm hlad I weren't driving!!! Would've blew a fuse haha

Serious E workings this evening, all over the place. Selly Oak, Pebble Mill, Northfield, Longbridge, pah!

And that 18 would've turned at further down Bristol Road South at the cut out to re-serve Northfield, or left Great Stone Road, and straight down, normal line of route, to save time on the return journey. Did you see it again in Northfield?
It was like that yesterday as well, took 30 minutes to get from town to the university, 10 buses bunched, including 3 more in the Jam behind us and two 144's bunched

Dylan, its totally disgusting. Birmingham City Council need to do something about the traffic. As if you have any knowledge then you'll know its due to unsynchronised traffic lights. Yes, traffic should be heavier in rush hours, but not gridlocked.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Two workings i saw tonight in Wolverhampton that i don't think are timetabled:

Saw 2022 displaying a 2 to Bushbury Showell Circus (Only ever seen this one during the snow)
Also saw 4016 on a 11 displaying 11E to Fallings Park (Also only ever seen it during the heavy snow diversions)

Spotted 60E terminating at Yardley Swan Centre coming from Cranes Park. Possible contender for the shortest journey done on NX bus?

Nope, 400 from west brom to Sandwell Valley for any shows going on there surely wins that
