Well my last day on the Commons certainly was eventful. Stuck on Alma Street for around 45 minutes this afternoon along with an OmniLink and a 424, due to another bus hitting and getting stuck on a car, therefore blocking all of the road. Absolutely terrible how people park on Alma Street, something should seriously be done about it.

By the time I had got clear, I had to finish service in City rather than Perry Common and go back to garage because of being so late. Others were also running late too

Me and two other buses was stuck for 15 minutes the other day on Broad meadow in Aldridge, its madness at school time

I was on those earlier, seemed to be running smoothly. I know the times on the 935a are tight though

Somethings up with the Walsall services atm, 17:24 X51 was a no show, and did notice a particular lack of 51s, 93x or 997

What happened to the South side of the City? (New St etc) There's tweets about it @nxwestmidlands

And I should add I was waiting for a Bristol Road service circa 1930~ for about 1 hour near Priory.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

@Tony

Any idea what happened that night @Tony

Bristol Rd services were up to an hour late and some passengers were taking taxis...

The Air Ambulance messed up our side of town at 5pm this afternoon (I know it can't be helped). Took over on time at the Fire Station at 17.01. By the time I had got round the Snow Hill diversion and back round to the Square Peg to load I was 20 minutes late on a 902. I was waiting at the side of a 98 and X64 for 10 minutes, I guess waiting for backed up traffic to be able to move once the AA had taken off until I could get to stand and load. It landed again at 6pm too

Left Hill Hook on time, then fun and games in Sutton as the Council are resurfacing Victoria Road, so Mill Street was closed (with no diversion on the VCR). So I tried to enter the Parade the way the 907 enters by using Coleshill Street, looping round the town, but you still couldn't get onto the Parade that way, so back up Mill Street and Coleshill Street again in all the traffic  >:(

OH25

4762 on the 80 is running around 25-30 mins late to West Bromwich and has been overtaken by the 80 that was supposed to be 15 mins behind this one

Five 9s in a row...accident in lye causing chaos

Any ideas what the diversion was because the road was closed as well?

Bromley Street, Stourvale Road and Hayes Lane for city bound 9s, suspect that it might be the same for Stourbridge bound services.

I saw 3 9s together going through Colley Gate at 10:10 this morning going towards City, amazing for a Saturday morning.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Two 99's are currently following each other up Bull St toward Square Peg.
