The 7s were mad this morning. I was about 20 late, on a trip from City around half 8, and then there was 4 of us in a row when we got to Perry Common.

Plus I imagine the 28s are fun this afternoon, with Gravelly Lane, Erdington shut due to a truck hitting the railway bridge to add already to the roadworks at the Vale

Trident 4609

WN59 buggered this afternoon due to an accident near New Cross Hospital causing heavy traffic around the area. Several buses were 30 mins plus late!

All services using Wednesfield High St were late this afternoon due the annual Christmas Lights Switch on closing the High St. 4565 was half an hour down when he entered the bus station

Walsall town centre is in chaos at the moment, Diamonds 30833 has crushed a car against the railings on the way out the bus station,  looks to me like the car was trying to undertake. The queue for the 529 looks the most fun alas I need to get to Wolverhampton...
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

I saw that queue.

It stretched down to the shop end of the Nx 301 stand!

Luckily there was a guy there who told me where the 301 & 302 were going from!

That corner where the accident happened has always been  dodgy!

My new record for late running today. 50 minutes getting into Sutton on a 907 this afternoon (should have been there around 2.25pm, finally got there around 3.15pm). Caused by traffic at Lancaster Circus, and New Oscott. From the island with College Road up to Tesco took me 20 minutes earlier, thankfully I was adjusted the next time round so was able to run dead through Erdington

74/75s screwed this morning due to fire by the Albion ground, Accident by The Apollo 2000 on the Birmingham Road and an accident in Hill Top. One bus came at 10:00 which was the 08:30 75 to Wednesbury.....
an empty bus is a happy driver.

Was there a problem in Walsall last night. About 7.15pm, 2 X51s left Birmingham together, and I passed at least 2 'Not In Service' 51 branded Enviro400s heading into Birmingham, and a few Tridents as well

I suspect there was something up earlier in the evening as well, waited half an hour for an X51 home, one was missing so naturally the next one filled up at Bull st, so naturally it couldn't stop at either of the corporation st stops

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.
