At present we are suffering severe delays on all services operating
Dudley Bus Station with delays in excess of 60 mins.
Dudley town is completely gridlocked, with no apparent reason.

Is there anywhere that puts up similar info online?

Havent got to sign up to Twitter have I?

No.

Any relevant social media feeds are never updated at the right time. The BBC website is also a pain to use on a phone.

Would the tram be any use to you?

Basically, cars were using Fisher street and Birmingham street by the car park despite there being a sign stating 'buses, taxis and licensed private hire' and instead of leaving space for buses to turn into the station they were parking across the entrance. To make things worse a van broke down in the bus lane. Same again tonight probably.

Might as well walk to Great Bridge from where I am.

Fingers crossed, should have a lift to Aldi Moxley tonight!

Just food for thought. But hopefully not the delays of yesterday.

X51 not looking great atm.
Got to the children's hospital stop on time for the 18:15 ex city. 20 mins later still here, seen at least one of every other service that stops here go past so traffic can't be that bad otherwise they'd all be affected
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

I was just 30 minutes late reaching Minworth this afternoon. Left City with the 904 20 minutes behind where I should have been, and he got to Minworth a good 5 minutes before me. He left just as I got there, and then ran dead to City (I was only expecting run dead to Erdington or The Yenton as there was more than enough time to run dead to relief

2 82's running together bad traffic Oxford Street and loxdale Street

The 07:02 8C from Highgate road today was either really early or really late, I cannot see the reason why it would be earlier then 06:56 as I got to the stop then.

Maybe it was adjusted due to traffic to renter service elsewhere, or maybe there was no driver. You guys never consider that in this thread. These two scenarios are more common than you think, in my experience anyway.
