VERY Late running services

[WMT3000]

Their might have been some traffic related problems, the 97 is my closest route and quite frequent at the best of times.

I quite agree that it's a very good service when running well. It's just annoying when the buses get bunched together which seems to happen a lot on the 97 compared to other routes. I often have to wait a long time for one when on lunch from work (I just go a few stops to chelmsley wood). To be fair, I think it's probably quite a difficult route to keep to time on due to the traffic and the number of junctions/sets of traffic lights and judging by recent experiences the number of passengers who argue with the driver over fares.

865 seemed not to be tracking today. Got excited because I thought it may be 757 but was merely dissapointed.

Got the 31 this morning which left Acocks Green towards city bang on time at 08:17, but due to some particularly horrific traffic all along the Stratford Road, didn't get me to Auckland Road until approx 09:10, so was about half an hour down  :-[

Because someone threatening suicide on the Middle Ring Road closed that road causing chaos over most of South Birmingham

Just read about that elsewhere, very sad to hear, but what was more sad were some of the hurtful comments being posted on social media. Just goes to show what a load of selfish heartless wankers there are out there (not directed at those with suicidal thoughts, but those who find it all terribly inconvenient)  :-\

The 15:05 number 3 bus to Birmingham Carrs Lane at Yardley Wood road never seemed to show up.

The incident in Shirley has delayed all services in the area badly
