road works by railway bridge just before old hill high st

That cause at least a 20 min delay? All the rest of the 244s seem to be on time to a degree today

Oh for f**k sake will you stop moaning! The driver could have been a new driver so not overly confident, that along with the road works adds up! Bet you wouldn't moan if Diamond ran the 243/244

I simply posted in the correct topic. Merry hill rota drivers do seem a bit precautions compared to Stourbridge rota drivers?
Diamond do have there days off running late and I post that in their thread aswell. However diamond seem to try and make up the time with some pretty fast driving whereas 244 drivers seem to not care.

Well the 243 and 244 aren't on Merry Hill rota! No NX drivers will actually get caught if they speed or break the law!

because it was late on the previous journey and turned short, the mileage it operated on the 16:37 journey was actually all done on time after starting part way

get facts right 243/4 on the Dudley rota  driver was probably driving to the road conditions wet roads due to rain traffic conditions due to road works  allowing passengers to sit Down before pulling away like he has been taught  so get a life and stop posting crap

Well 6740 was 10 minutes late earlier departing Walsall on the 19:05 934 to Birmingham, so definitely wasn't that.

The 900/957 seemed to have gone missing earlier this evening, got to Bordeley station around 6pm, and the app was showing a 23 minute wait for a 957?

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
