Wednesbury Road
Road closed, accident, queueing Traffic.
Road closed and queueing traffic due to accident on Wednesbury Road both ways between Milton Street and Corporation Street. The accident is not too far from the petrol station.

Was the 11A supposed to be diverted this afternoon in Stechford just after 13:00 or not.
Some drivers were using Stoney Lane, Bordesley Green East, Belchers Lane, Alum Rock Road and Burney Lane (4635 and 4653).
Wheras others were using the normal line of route and going via Station Road (4670 - despite the two infront taking another route) - A bit ridicilous that the drivers seemed to had no clue whether or not there was a diversion or not, the driver on 4670 later appeared to radio the Garage who clearly said there was a dversion via Heartlands Hospital and the Alum Rock Road. 4670 ended up sitting in a queue of traffic which was non moving for about 45 minutes.

I got on 4670 at Yardley Swan just after 13:00 and got of by Stechford Station at about 13:45 - a  much longer journey than usual - usualy a 5 minute journey, walking the rest of the way to The Fox And Goose (as the bus was barely moving).

There was a woman who got on by the Police Station screaming at the driver about drivers taking "the wrong route and not knowing where they were going and saying what about the passengers waiting by the Station" as well.

Apparently there was an accident, though when I walked down there it appeared to be a set of temporary lights and a one way system causing the disruption (there was a NX inspector stood by them talking to the worker as well)?

79 having problems, temporary lights at Hill Top / Witton Lane junction stuck on red

Four 9's running in tandem on Colmore Row just a minute ago. 2 MMCs, 3302 & 4435. Are they every 10 minutes in peak times also?

Not surprising with how hammered they're getting due to the incident at Cradley Heath, I don't think anyone can complain. Not even @Trident 4194!

To answer your question, they do increase. I think its 2 or 3 extra buses come out in the afternoon.

See I thought I read 1945, but assumed I read it wrong as that's a West Brom vehicle and that the Barr Beacon schools were Walsall garage, my bad

I think West Bromwich actually run the morning 881? I'm sure I remember seeing the morning trip some time back with two West Bromwich E40D's on it.

[I love Walsall buses]

I saw 3 of WA29 in the bus station about 16:00

[Westy]

See the WA 11 / 11a was up to it's usual standard of service between 5 & 6 this evening.

No bus arrived between approx. 520(probably even earlier, as people were already at the stop when I got there!) & 550pm at Lea Avenue in Wednesbury.

I did tweet NX customer services & the reply was due to traffic on route!

What's new!

[Kevin]

860 running 25 late round Alumwell on the 36, looks like it got stuck on Blay Avenue because I caught the Thandi 335 which went around Ripon Road instead and saw a bus as we turned off with hazards flashing

[OH25]

the 20:26 80A has not shown up from West Brom... it was running about 20 mins late in the other direction

[I love Walsall buses]

The 20:20 32 was 13 minutes late tonight any reason why the high street wasn't shut off today and got into lower farm 20 minutes late

[Trident 4194]

2 4Hs in convoy 184* and another omnilink.

[MasterPlan]

Anything going through Holloway Circus will be late today. I don't know what's happened but it's worse than normal. Taken us a good half hour to get through it.
