3 45s have not long arrived in Walsall together. 4265 left NIS, maybe the 1.45pm departure. 1936 and 4250 then both left together at 2.17pm

The number 3 service to the city centre that arrives at 15:04 at Tritiford road (running board 02/06 I think) has had a series of late runnings, getting up to 12 minutes late. Why is this?

Because none of YW's tridents yet have the ability to go over the top of queueing traffic.

It is not 2-06, that is due in City at 15:06

2 244s in convoy or an e200 on 241?

Roadworks Quarry Bank !!

Please explain how one bus is on time and another 20 minutes late, when going through same traffic?

Adjustments, traffic, any number of things that end up make convoys

Did a bus turn up? Yes so stop complaining! If a service failed to run okay have your little moan but the service ran so be happy you had a bus!

With one bus running late he gets to pick up double passengers so bus number two picks up less passengers catching bus number one up  simple also driver one has more passengers on so he is driving slower driver two will have less passengers on so he can go a bit faster within the legal road speed of course  @Dom

An accident has shut the A34 overpass in both directions by Trinity Road. The X51 I've got on at Scott Arms has turned around here heading out of Birmingham and is about to head back now , followed by 2 more to Walsall. I don't know if it's still shut now, but seen pictures from 2.45pm and the traffic was backed up past Perry Barr, and I imagine  the other direction is just as bad

Also seen 2 MMCs running dead out to Walsall/Pheasey

It's open and clear now into City but outbound is at a standstill

Surely the driver of the bus could see that he couldn't get through, so why block the road for other road users. I agree that the cars shouldn't have been parked in that position but surely common sense from the bus driver says don't attempt to get through and block the road.

Looking at that picture I'm sure it could've fit through if they approached at the more acute angle from the offside.
It'll be tight, but I'm sure its doable.

Obviously without actually being there none of us are any the wiser.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

But would you want to risk getting sacked? As if he crashed the bus then the company would say it's his fault for attempting it. I honestly think he made the right decision not attempting it (apart from blocking the entire road as he could have parked it up).
