VERY Late running services

[Tony]

4764 and 4882 left town together on the 936 just before half 5 this afternoon, and only 2 mins or so after a trident on the 935E

4882 was on time; 4764 was 16 minutes late, but by the time it got to Streets Corner it was only 4 late, so nice clear roads, and passengers on that one got home nice & Quick!

All Hagley road services currently running late due to the road works, mind I'm not that fussed in sitting on a nice hybrid only 20 mins late.

Are you aboard 5403 on the 126 by chance?

Nothing crazy, but a 128 (4641) was running slightly ahead of a 129 (ALX 400) on the Hagley Road towards Birmingham earlier, around 3:30-4. All 128s run 10 minutes behind 129s.

Counting the days to the end of the ever late 205.

[Trident 4609]

634 left W'ton at least 20 minutes late on WN28

126 currently facing 50-60 minute delays between Dudley and Oldbury. No idea why, but something by where the old Oldbury garage used to be causing it

I was wondering what was going on! I gave up waiting and just caught the 27 (4556)

Apparently there is slow moving traffic and very heavy delays on the A4123 in Tividale around the Birchley Island

1477 on WA 69 was 16 minutes late and departed at 15:21. The bus was really packed. Later on, 1477 was late again for 17:10 departure, but less minutes this time - 7 minutes late.

I was in AVL today - with the person who was monitoring the 126. It was due to roadworks reducing the road to one lane, near Birchley Island. Then there was a RTC nearby which led to a temporary diversion of service down Titford Road, although this only occurred for one bus. It was a nightmare all afternoon, and even when I left at 6pm. There was gridlock in the city which didn't help and so when the roadworks finished, the city centre decided to cause problems. So there was a pile up of 126s in the city centre - the 9 and 120 had the same issue. Really interesting time there!

Yesterday afternoon I was on the Dudley road services , paradise circus lights stuck on red from summer row causing big tailbacks , when I finally got round city heading up city road I noticed that I,m in a convoy of buses I could see 5 in front and 4 in my mirrors, rather amusing I thought. When I got to oldbury there were 4 87s and 128 come in together quite a scene no where to park. I managed to park up now I realise no relief driver so I switch engine off and got out then passengers from another 87 barged on my bus told,em no driver no one listened, I thought why bother after continuous ringing of the bell it dawned on people this bus going no where.

I mean i,m heading up Dudley road not city road.

Two 900s following each other through Meriden en route to Coventry earlier this afternoon. No doubt delayed by the protest that was going on in the city centre earlier.

2 276's near Merry Hill so some will be waiting up to 40 minutes for a bus. I'd imagine Roadworks on nearby Quarry Bank High St and some temporary lights around Saltwells road apparently are causing delays.
