The 07:18 76 to Solihull Station from Kings Heath came 1 minute after the arrival of the next 76 (07:31) to the same destination.

No it didn't! The 07:18 departure was 4335 and it left at 07:19

Possibly not a very late running service 6108 on the 9 leaving Colmore Row at 1715 managed to be overtaken by at least 2 other Hagley Rd buses as driver drove at more or less walking pace all the way.

That may not necessarily have been his fault - I seem to remember if the AdBlue levels on the E400s were low, then the bus's speed was restricted. I assume the MMCs have AdBlue solution?

4844 was nearly 20 minutes late going into town due to traffic on Aldridge Road. Driver managed to make 5 minutes when he got back to Hawthorn Road. Although if he continued to be over 10 minutes late, he would run out of hours (Duty 1 on the 33 this was). Driver was a friend of mine by the way.

Not very late but late non the less, the 10:55 81 to Merry Hill, from Roseville has left Roseville at 11:10, so 15 down on a half hour frequency route!

EDIT: And now the bus due at 11:25 to Merry Hill from Roseville has felt Roseville at 11:44, so this time 19 Mins down. Is there an explanation to this?

Both 297s are running late.

The one I've had to catch because of the 141 Russells Hall doing a disappearing act is 15 down and it's opposite one was 7 down...

I was on 1589 on the 49 WB to Bearwood today. Long delay in Spon Lane, then we were all (20 or so) chucked off in Langley, I think it was, with no apology. 'This bus is stopping here because it's late' was all we got, and no other 49s in sight. Someone said another 49 was shown in 15 minutes time on his app, but that could have been turned back too. Not good enough!

Yeah, I had a day back on the 7s and they were chaos all day, with the M6 shut this morning, and that crash this afternoon (I was diverted via Snow Hill Queensway on one trip). I was adjusted to miss my last trip into City (16.30 from the Common, left 10 late). Left on time from City at 17.05, but then 15 minutes late getting to relief (There were also 3 following each other most of the afternoon too)
