VERY Late running services

The bad old delays on late weekends on broad st back with a vengeance Friday 30 minutes from town hall to five ways, last nite nearly 45 minutes from town hall to plough and Harrow , there's no need to be on broad st why can't broad st services use Dudley rd services route out of brum to springhill island, then the ring road to five ways to maintain some sort of service it's just ridiculous. I don't see why I have to work nearly an hour longer on top of already long duties , all this talk of fuel efficiency what load of crap. Thank fully nobody who got on after five ways gave me grief cause I was ready to dish it back,I don't do customer care when I should be at home enjoying a frosty one.

That route was even worse last night as all 9000 people at the Michael McIntyre show were put out onto Spring Hill

X96s running late due at stourbridge 14.38 and still a no show

Possibly knock on effect from the resurfacing works on Priory road Dudley this morning, but not sure that would have caused 20 minute delays

Correct, it didn't cause 20 minute delays, It caused both buses to be over an hour late at one point

They actually swapped running boards at one point to help put them closer to time

As 4346 is running down still do you think they will terminate it at stourbridge and turn it around back on time?

This morning I waited 20mins for a 37; having just missed one that seemingly left on time at 8:25am from Shirley Road (as I could see it parked up for a couple of minutes as I walked down to the stop), I checked the NX app, and it showed a timetabled departure at 8:31am, then the next one due in 11 mins.

The timetabled bus never showed up, so I presume one was missing, and the next one eventually arrived at 8:44, which left a minute or so later after changing drivers. A huge crowd got on at the next stop, and then it was hit or miss as to whether the driver was able to stop and pick up other large crowds waiting at stops.

Last nite broad st Birmingham services went pear shaped with the band fall out boy playing at the nia plus thousands of students on the piss, by the time I reached ivy bush hagley rd timing point I,m 25 minutes down , wasn't expecting that on a Tuesday nite.

I was spotting on Colmore Row today for about an hour between two and three and didnt see a 141, was any missing?

Major delays on colmore row down to one lane I heard, I've seen a few 9E which may also back this up
