You are joining the 'Westy unlucky group'

The 17:45 left Birmingham spot on time. Both the 17:55 & 18:05 got delayed by 20 minutes by traffic in the Scott Arms area, then the delays diminished until the 18:35 left on time, so there was actually only one bad gap in the X51 timetable this evening from 17:45 until 18:14

Westy

Blimey.

Ive got a group named after me !

LOL

9s running late due to traffic in the city

Also 3 246s just come into stour in convoy

The 246 really needs sorting out, lately convoy running is becoming the norm!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Tell the idiots that park in the red route at Russells Hall and the other idiots that block brierley hill high street. Wouldn't be a bad idea to campaign to get the entrance to the hospital car park moved ont Pensnett road too. A bus lane between Collis street and stourbridge ring road would be helpful too.  8)

Think the council should never have allowed parking in the High Street, and to be honest, the 246 should go back to it's old route avoiding the hospital, enough other routes serve it!

Is there something up with the 74 going towards Dudley?
In West Bromwich about 10ish minutes ago it said there is not a 74 for another like 25 mins (I had just missed one) and then after that there is one like 5 mins later?
What's with the huge gap between buses?

Looks like the whole of South East Birmingham is screwed again tonight!

900s are currently running about an hour late, and every route between the Bristol Road and Bordesley Green with severe delays still even at 19:20

How long is this disruption supposed to last?
