VERY Late running services

[Sh4318]

Four 35s (three Enviros, then a Trident) in the space of 10 minutes around 1:30... That's not right ;). Third bus (4719) was a 35E to Pool Farm

[Stu]

Probably due to the closure of the Bristol Road at Belgrave Interchange earlier, caused traffic havoc I bet.

[Trident 4609]

A lot of 1's running together in Wolverhampton Stafford St this afternoon

[John]

33s were all over the place early afternoon. Running in twos everywhere, traffic in town plus Aldridge Road by Boars Head was down to one lane each way due to tree cutting (plus Hawthorn Road lights as bad as ever). Ended up 17 minutes late after 2 trips

[nitromatt1]

1662's running 20 minutes late on the 244, 1743 is having an easy journey right behind

[Nathan4775]

again 3 33's heading for the Pheasey, with the 4th not very far behind
3 28's running together in Erdington too

[nitromatt1]

again 3 33's heading for the Pheasey, with the 4th not very far behind
3 28's running together in Erdington too

When did you see the trio of 28's?

The traffic round Spitfire Island was awful as usual for a Saturday, so 28s were all over the place today.

For 4 33s to be that close together is unusual, especially out of City (must have been a holdup). Not even the Hawthorn Rdlights are that bad

Most Wolverhampton City Centre services delayed this afternoon due to very heavy traffic because of the Wolves V Port Vale match. At least 4 59's in a row and two 69's within less than 10 minutes of each other (30 minute service)

Surprising that a match like that can cause traffic problems

Meanwhile, the 9 I'm on is running over 20 mins late, potentially a 40 minute gap in service. Not good.

Matt,its like that most Saturday's. A lot of people watch the game and there is lots of traffic around plus Queen Square is shut to traffic so no surprise that the match cause heavy delays ::)

Its like that when Blues play at Home at the end of each game the Cov Road is closed to traffic and services 17/58/59/60/73 are diverted along the Small Heath Highway as far as Golden Hillock Road then they follow the 8 to the Cov Road to rejoin their normal line of routes :)

[Trident 4609]

Well the City Centre and Waterloo Rd still have traffic running down there plus Queen Square is shut for roadworks

[nitromatt1]

9pm 244 is still parked in Dudley, reason being the relief driver came in very late from the 120 and is in the restroom having their legally required break

Some 50 services were particularly late today. I came off 25 minutes down and no one had caught me up so we were all in the same situation. Kings Heath can be an absolute pain from between about 0930 and 1500 and as soon as you loose your time on the 50 it is nearly impossible to get it back as on a Saturday in particular we usually only get around four minutes of drop back at Druids.
