They're causing chaos on anything that goes through it I heard

Except the x10 I think they were ontime

The X10 doesn't go through them

Checked on the NXWM app for the 89 at 23:05 ex Wolverhampton, it said 12 minutes late at 23:05. At 23:20, it says 31 minutes late! Didn't see 89 arrive for the 23:05.

1890 pulled into Walsall on the 41 earlier, on time, due in at 1630, out at 1635, left NIS at 1634, no replacement or anything, meaning that anyone who wanted the 41 (myself included) had to wait for the 1735, which left late at 1740, doesn't look good when both buses are late...

Can we just have Arriva back now, please?...

Given I saw a relief driver waiting at the stop when it turned up...

And I never really had a problem with Arriva's reliability, as the 20 or so minutes it got at Walsall, off a 77 usually proved enough, latest I recall an Arriva 41 being (NOTE: This is from my experience. Not everyone's, as I'm willing to bet a couple did get missed out) missed out, or over an hour late, latest I recall one was 18 minutes late, arrived 10 late...

From the NX twitter page:

X51s looking fun this evening.
17:25 Cannock journey left 10 late already full and standing from Bull Street, didn't pick up either of the next two stops.
17:35 journey has yet to leave (17:52) and probably going to be a similar story at Corporation Street and stops, next one die "10 mins" according to the real time info so that'll be at least 40 mins with no bus

And before anyone chips in, yes all these people can catch the 51 but originally at 18:24 there was an X51 advertised as "4 mins"

Gave up and caught the 51, which naturally somehow was running on time enough to have to wait at Six ways while the 18:35 bus inevitably overtook

What I don't get is how the X51s can be so delayed and yet the 51s that if anything has to negotiate worse traffic on the bits of route they don't share can be on time
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Both the 51s and X51s were delayed by 15 minutes at the Scott Arms towards city coming in to make those outward journeys. The difference is, when the delays started the problems in City don't start until later with the X51 because they take longer to get to City

Yeah it caused a lot of traffic along Broad Street / Five Ways too. The NX guy at the bus stop was kind enough to let us know what wws going on.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

MasterPlan

Just seen 2 8Es (one terminating at Saltley and the other Five Ways) followed by two 8As.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Have a guess... Might stop posting if they actually started turning up on time.
