VERY Late running services

[notepanel]

Was tonight the first night of the Expressway works?

I believe you can't join J6 from the motorway island, and its down to one lane on the slip roads from the Expressway?

Correct. And to be honest, the expressway itself was fine about 18:00 coming out of town. Town itself was a nightmare but that's different

[Liverpool Street]

Yeah what was wrong with town earlier? The 900's were a total mess circa 40min delays and running togethers. I hear the bypass was solid?

At 17.30 all 3 vehicles on the 654 were at the island at Perry Barr, 2 heading to hamstead  with 763 on its way to six ways aston.

No the M6 slip road is closed from Salford Circus. The expressway seemed ok this evening, but the Lichfield Road on the other hand. One trip on the 65, it took me around 20 minutes just to get across Dartmouth Circus into City, and another 10 minutes out of City, and the next one after that wasn't much better, plus by that time cars were queuing all the way along the Lichfield Road from Salford Circus all the way to Dartmouth Circus, thank god there is a bus lane there! Ended up 46 minutes late in garage (plus I was bursting!)

We have more running time on the 65 with the road closures etc, which for the first trip I done around 3pm was ok, but then the chaos soon started

Roadworks day 2. Same traffic on the Birmingham road.
Think I'm gonna start hitting the village and catching the 16 to town more often

[the trainbasher]

Just seen a trio of arriving 9s at Stourbridge...

My X96 (1677) is only 15 late!

[Trident 4194]

If you want the 244, tough. There's been an accident by the corner of bassnage road, so don't think they can get through

[j789]

I was driving up Walsall road near the Alexander stadium about 9.30am and in the space of 5 minutes saw 4 51s and 2 X51s + 2 not in service Enviros coming from town so guessing the traffic must have been bad again this morning for them to bunch up like that.

2014 and 4323 currently in convoy on WN59

[Trident 4194]

1629 & 823 in convoy on 244

You beat me to it, I got 30861 on 4H( as usual), unfortunately the merc was first so didn't cross over, but then 823 followed which annoyed me

Didn't see you today. They were literally in convoy when I passed them on Andrew Road

They were in convoy at bottom of portsdown 1629 was first, full with 823 with two passengers

[Kevin]

Inner Circle seems to be faring worse than normal at the moment, waited over half hour in Nechells on me way from work

[the trainbasher]
