The 997s still seem to be suffering now, I guess due to the accident on the Birmingham Road this morning. Two running together as I got on by the College, and two the other way as well. There was also quite a few Platinum buses leaving Birmingham Not In Service, as well as other Walsal buses, as well as 51s running together.

Might be something to do with 4143 broken down in Stourbridge earlier, but when I got to Wolves about half 3 on the 256 the stop was rammed and 4139 parked there displaying 255 but no driver on board.
4139 left wolves in service about 5 mins before the next 255

The traffic at New Oscott was worse than ever today. Most of the 907s running in twos, I was adjusted Sutton to City on my first trip this afternoon. Some took more than 20 minutes to get through

The correct speed limits, as he said it was quiet and had a decent amount of dropback
