VERY Late running services

[DJ]

The whole of the Black Country?


827 and 829 left merry hill NIS
3304 and 6717 in convoy at merry hill lights
6718 I believe NIS passed Quinton church at 15:20
183* and 1845 in convoy on 4H

I saw two buses on the WA11 on Bloomfield Road, Tipton in convoy earlier today around 2:30 PM too.

Today was the worst I've seen late runnings on such a number of services

Not as bad as the WA11 then, one of the must have been 20 minutes late if they were together.

Makes me glad I got the train to Wolverhampton instead today!  ;D

I wonder if the Thandi 311 was in shambles today. Judging by how bad they can be. I did see a Blue Dart NIS heading down Wood Green Road heading towards Walsall. I'm guessing he had to turn round at some point as he must been running very late.

I told Nx via Twitter recently they needed to look at that service, as it regulary has problems.

Their response. Send us an email!

Why do I need to email?

Isnt social media good enough?

Way too overcrowded at times too at peak, it's not so bad over the summer, but once school and colleges go back in September, it's always rammed of the mornings. Not to mention the amount of traffic at the junction with the Sedgley Road, it was normal for it to take 30 minutes on the bus to get from Tipton to Dudley back when I was at college. I would like to see deckers on there occasionally, I reckon it'd be worth the trade off of having to drive a different way to the depot to avoid trees or whatever.

Done here it's bad. Two schools right opposite each other on Wood Green Road. I can't wait to see all the drama come back. The Thandi 311 will be terrible again, no wonder they stopped the 313!

Myvod Road can be terrible and the J9 Island. All the fun will start next week!

Blame the trees on Powis Avenue! The branches are that low that they have hitting SD's. Especially the Omnilinks with those pod things on the roof. Sandwell Council think they now it all!

Ah yeah, I forgot about Powis Avenue. If the 11 and 13 weren't interlinked, then the deckers could just be kept on the 13, but that'd never happen.

That must be awful at rush hour, having two high schools, a motorway junction, and a retail park at the same place...

They're expanding the retail park too. This area is terrible. Wednesbury Town Centre doesn't help in rush hour either..

Damn, that sounds like a pain. I would say I'm looking forward to not having to deal with the 11/13 anymore into Dudley, but I doubt the 79 into Wolves will be any better, with the diversion away from Bilston Rd.

And you've got all the rush hour in Wednesbury town centre. Have fun!

Nah, I'll be catching the 82 from near Coseley to the stop outside Regal Motors, then the 79 into Wolves. Still, I bet there'll be quite a bit of traffic with the Metro diversions.

[Westy]

Shame it takes too long going via Great Bridge & West Brom, if I went from work to Walsall that way!

Also its extra expense Metro from Parkway up to somewhere close to the Bilston to Darlaston route so I could swop to the 39 straight through or get a 79 & change at Darlo.

Coventry Road services X1, X2 and 60 all having difficulties today, due to some temporary traffic lights at the Kings Road junction. Don't know when it happened but looks like there had been a collision of some kind, as the traffic lights have been smashed to pieces.
