There were 2 sets of 2 997s running together around 12.50pm this afternoon in Perry Barr. One set each way, 2 997Es to Pheasey and 2 Birmingham bound buses together

I had to get adjusted on the 914 this evening (as I should have been the 6.32pm from City but was running around 15 late) so ran dead to Sutton, I wasn't expecting it so was glad to get a decent dropback


I didn't get adjusted, I was 20 down on one trip :( I always lose time on Aldridge road by asda and at rushall traffic lights, they let about 4 cars across!

I was adjusted twice on the 11C today. Arrived at Perry Barr an hour late and was told to go straight to Acocks Green. I had to go through City due to some insane traffic on the Ring Road. City was chaos till Camp Hill island. I arrived at Acocks Green 35 mins late, and was adjusted to City Hospital, to which I was 10 mins late. Then a good thrash back to Acocks Green and then garage. That's the good thing about the 11. You get to drive all around the City when adjusted lol.

Also diversion is on at Perry Barr. Right on A34, left Trinity Road, left at lights to join the 7 route to the island, then normal. Next week we're diverting to go past PB which should be fun lol

A few drivers have said avl can't adjust platinum routes? I'm not sure how true that is but it would explain why I never get adjusted!

Soon you won't have to worry about that  :-\

4272 and 4273 running in pairs on the 80 to West Bromwich on Oldbury Road about half an hour ago. 4272 was rammed, while 4273 was carrying fresh air

4331 on the WA 89 was 18 minutes late leaving Wednesfield High towards Walsall, as well as 4297 on the 41, arriving NIS in New Invention Square, leaving some unhappy passengers who boarded 842 on the 28, although one absolute d***head decoded to try his hands and feet at beating up 842! One of the only times I've actually been scared in public transport. Not good at all

How can it be FTO if it showed up?

FTO means 'failed to operate' you actually stated it operated.
