X10 - 6712 starting at Bearwood at about 1640, obviously in the interests of causing maximum delay to the largest number of people as soon as 6717 arrived at Bearwood, both buses set off together....

Traffic light failure at Bordesley Circus caused a right nightmare this morning. According to Google Maps the whole of Small Heath Highway was congested, and my X1 (which had seeming turned up on time at Kathleen Road) struggled to get round Heybarnes Circus and onto the Coventry Road through Small Heath, which is congested enough at the best of times. As I disembarked at Bordesley station at approx 8:55 I noted on the ticket machine display that the bus was actually "Late 29".

I also discovered from Google Maps that there had been a crash on Stratford Road in Sparkbrook, which no doubt compounded things further.

I walked home this evening along the canal. Does anyone know if the lights are working again at Bordesley Circus?

(Ironically they weren't working yesterday evening either, and the funny thing was that apart from the stacked up traffic on Small Heath Highway, the rest of the traffic seemed to be flowing far better than usual!)

Does anyone know if the lights are working again at Bordesley Circus?

When I went past at about 7:15pm this evening, the lights were still not working. All the lights had a sign on them indicating they were non working, so might not be a short term problem....

17**- Volvo Was running 20 minutes late this morning. Should have done The 8:56 from Halesowen to loop. Pretty sure this journey has more than sufficient time?
