Over 45 minutes without a 126 from Birmingham this evening, still waiting? What's been going on, usual chaos around Oldbury/Burnt Tree?

Interesting. With Springfield Road being closed, 11s coming from Bearwood have been told to come through Five Ways and Highgate Road as oppose to the 1 route.

At 445pm, I left work & walked straight up to Wednesbury BS & got a 38 around 520 roughly back to Walsall.

Least I've got next week off.

It wasn't that bad only a couple of mins here and there. The 229 was quite bad 12 mins late into

The 907s were suffering yesterday afternoon, with the traffic at Perry Barr and New Oscott. I wasn't too bad, at most 10 minutes late but others were running together (20 minute service) and I caught the one in front of me just before I finished, not too bad I only came off a few minutes late

If they were only running a few minutes late, then they wouldn't have needed to adjust any (which was the case).
